63 starfire script question

So where is the correct script location on the side of 63 starfires? I've seen drawn pictures of the script on the sail panel, but i've never seen a real car that did'nt have the script on the fender behind the wheel well. Were there two different locations, or has there been an on going mistake being made with drawn pictures? Just curious.

Sometime around late October 62 they made a running production change. Up to that point coupes had it on the sail panel and convertibles on the front fender. Afterwards all had it on the front fender. This was done to save a punch operation on the sail panel and to keep from having 4 different p/n Starfire front fenders between coupe/convertible.

So to figure out where it should be on a particular car, you have to look at the Fisher body plate time code.
