V72's with Heuer Badge on Bridge

Greetings experts,

I thought I remembered reading at some point that the Valjoux 72s used in the Carreras/Autavias/Camaros (and maybe even any of the manual wind Heuer Chronos) were not sold with the Heuer Badge logo on the movement bridge, is that correct?

Further, I think I remember reading that it was funny that it was usually the counterfeit and frankens that had this logo'd bridge, but I cannot find where I read this. Does this ring a bell to anyone? I've seen a Carrera and an Autavia pop up recently, both with the shield on the bridge, but look authentic otherwise. Both that I'm referring to are also signed Ed. Heuer & Co.

Thank you in advance for any education or insight you can provide.
