Brian, partially correct.  TR4's had no Triumph World on the front.  They had 
the "shield" (w/o the name Triumph in it as the TR3 had) in blue and white.  
TR4A's had the round Triumph world. Another minor reason why I did not trade 
in my 3 year old TR4 for a new TR4A in '67.  :-).

Hmmm.  2 badges on the bonnet-- "verry interresting."

Cheers.
