If you are a panel beater than you should be well aware that it is impossible to tell if a panel is the original one on a 35yr old car. Panels replaced early in a cars life with factory replacement panels are impossible to tell from original as they are prepped and painted to match the cars original colour. Plenty of owners over the years could and probably did change or add badges.
HJ Kingswood Sandman had the Kingswood badge in the middle and the 4.2L or 5.0L badge mostly on the drivers side but I have seen them on the passengers side also... (possibly an assembly plant thing?)
Hows that for a definitive anwser Adam???

Not that elusive, I have been stocking up and have 3... one of which is NOS.. gotta love Ebay
Finding them with both mounting pins not broken off is the hard part......... These were fitted to all HJ-HZ Holden utes and panelvans so there really should be heaps around but like fuel caps a lot of people must have removed them...
