No, it's probably a "U"...

TRF may have these - I don't know for sure though.

Red, white and blue - A reproduction is available.  TRF carries it, and
you can see a picture at <http://www.web2000.com/emblems/p2.htm>
It's number 20.

They were used on the '70 only.  One of these days, I'll finish the
"Federal Spitfire" webpage I started...  You can see most of the badges
on my car - it's on <http://www.carpictures.com> under the Triumph
heading, 1970 Triumph Spitfire Mk3 blue.

Hope this helps,
