The majority of the enameled globes on the original hubcaps for my TR3B had the Triumph script in a diagonal line across the emblem, not the arched script most commonly seen in enameled and painted g

It's my understanding the entire lower half of TS1 has been rebuilt, as close to the original in as many ways as they could make it. That's consistent with my memory of seeing the car pre-restoration
