The location is an exact mirror as far I know and all these badges
have the same mount points. Usually you can just see the slight dimple in
the paint where the holes are but maybe the body man did a really good job
of smoothing and polishing the filler and paint.
You might be able to use a steel scribe or small steel wire with a
magnet on it to locate the filler; you need a small point to find the hole
with a very strong magnet to get a noticeable reaction.
If you still have a removable steel panel in the fender well at the
top, rear; you could remove that panel and find the filler by hand touch.
You need smallish hands and forearms to do that. You could make a template
of the drivers side by also using the Tiger Script holes to help locate the
badge holes.
The trunk badge; looking at the trunk, the badge is on the passenger
side, LHD, and the left pin of the badge is easily visible in the inner
trunk panel opening. The other 2 pin holes are visible but behind the metal
inner panel. You should be able to see the filler from that opening.

Subject: [Tigers] Badge locations
My painter got a little carried away and filled in a few holes in the
bodywork that he shouldn't have. I need to know as precisely as possible
the location of the passenger side badge and the trunk badge (mine read
"Alpine 260"). Is the passenger side badge the exact mirror image of the
driver side? (He left me two of those holes, so I easily located the
third). I've tried to use a small magnet to detect the body filler, but it
hasn't worked. Thanks.
