G'day Diana
I do't think they mixed the cast and pressed badges on one vehicle. Rifling
through my collection of books it appears the 1951 model should wear the
cast badges,subsequent ywars have the stamped ( Birmingham) version. the
Solihull badge wasn't introduced until the series 2 came to be, as far as I
know.

Thanks Nick

Your in the top 1% of the running (in fact your also in the bottom 1% but
others may be heads down and bums up writing!) - I will publish the class
scores at the end of the semester.

I remember in the late 1960's when my family had a 1950 LR (lights through
the grille but didn't have the wire ring so may have been a modification,)
it had the cast metal badge on the front and I think also on the back but
can't actually remember.

My 1951 came sans badges.

We wait with baited breath in anticipation for the other answers.
