Chris & Bill: 
All four of the nave plates on ole TS981 have the underline under Triumph  
and I was assured that these "World" badges were original.  According to  
Piggott there were two types of these badges, the early version was of the  
vitreous enamelled type but at TS13046 the more common painted type took over  
but in both cases the underline was there.  Coincidently TS13046 was also  
when the braking type was changed from Lockheed to Girling and their discs 
in  front.  
 
I have absolutely no clue what "vitreous enamelled" is but those are  
Piggott's words.
