Must have been some sort of extra badge. Maybe an Aussie Type 3 would be that sort of length, but they're usually on the front wings, I think.

I've started to rub down the wings and took the trim off but when I took my TS badge off look what was there and it's on both sides,did the Oz models have side repeaters?
