Default XK/XKR - Interesting Badges?

Jaguar has a history of different badges on their vehicles. Here is one I saw on what must have been an early version of the XKR-S, or a special version of the XKR. I took the picture at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2011. Expand the thumbnail; look at the righthand side of the bootlid.

Does anyone have other unusual badge pictures?

Default Old-Style Jaguar Badge

Well, this one isn't an XK - it isn't even a Jaguar. It's an Eagle Roadster - a 'perfected', modern XKE. Beautiful, but no provision for a top of any kind... and, cost is:

Five
hundred
thousand
GBP!

I'm amazed that Jaguar does not sue them over use of the badge, if not the styling. Still -- WANT!

Love the new "R" badge with the circle instead of offset rectangle. It makes the refreshed colors (lighter green/reversed order adopted in 2012) look even better.

I've seen "4.2" on the back on an XK from factory, that is it for unusual to me.

Default One of the Best Badges!

I got lucky today, and got a shot of one of the best badges on any car, anywhere - XK-150!

That's an interesting XKR. The defuser is unusual. The badge looks Aston Martin with the wings. Cool XKR! I want an old XKE so much!

The standard center cap is the Growler logo in various colors. Just to be different, the factory equipped my 2009 XKR Portfolio with the retro logo like the one on the trunk lid of the Eagle roadster in post #2:
