Solved!
Okay, my old brain cells are being tricked into releasing their information,
which should shake @JOE CURRY 's recollection.
I recalled there was a lot of discussion on the autox.team.net discussion board
circa 2006 as a potential fund raiser and email list supporter participant
identifier at car shows when these were being produced, but could not put my
finger on the exact date. Searchable archives? Absolutely!
http://www.team.net/html/triumphs/
The discussions are all on the autox.team.net archives here
http://www.team.net/mharc/archives/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query=grill+badge&submit=Search%21&idxname=triumphs&max=20&result=normal&sort=score
subjects of 'List Grill Badges' and 'Triumph List "Grill" Badges'
I think the Autox.team.net email list badges "may have" been made by Quality
Lapel Pins, the US vendor of many other Triumph/British Car and auto club
Badges. @JOE CURRY, I think you were the driver for that project? There is
mention of a Canadian vendor too.
I used QLP for the North American Stag Club grill, lapel (2002) and key fob
(2004) badges I designed and had made which started back in the early 2002
which may have been around the time the Autox badges were being designed. It
may have been Fred who told me about QLP but my memory hasn't released that
detail.
@JOE CURRY So I dug out an old email between you and me dated ~April 2007
discussing producing/selling the badges and options for sending them overseas,
issues about collecting funds from overseas Autox members, so that got me
looking through the autox.team.net archives it was indeed around mid 2006 which
I confirmed by searching the autox.team.net archives. That does not fit with
them being passed out by Fred at TRF in 2003/4 though. But that fits for them
being manufactured before the TTA Triumph Trans AmeriCAN charity drive in 2009.
Your and my discussion was because we were sending the TSCUSA badges globally
to members and using PayPal and you needed a way to sell badges and collect the
money.
Joe, Remember?

Back to the badge issue, John, drove the Stag to the San Luis Obispo VTR that
was in back in 2009. The car had one of these badges attached to the front
(donated by myself), so the production was some time before that date.
