These Napco emblems sure look like they have been on there a long time & it does not appear that they had any specific location to mount them, nor do they appear to have any evidence of being painted red.
That is another good point, Joe. I have never EVER seen evidence of red paint or any paint for that matter in any original NAPCO badge from the 50's 60's or 70's, and they upfitted a LOT of trucks.
