72 442 Fender Emblem placement

Can anyone tell me if the 442 Emblems were located in different locations on W30 cars vs standard 442? My car is in the shop being color sanded and having stripes installed. I got a call from the shop today that the 442 emblems are installed to low and will interfere with the W30 side stripe. I created the Template for the emblem location directly from an origional 442 non W30 car. That would indicate either the W30 emblem locations are different or the paint shop that drilled the holes got the measurements goofed up?

Thanks Brett! No big deal. I was considering not installing the w30 stripes anyway. Now it will be a stripe delete car
