1982 Celica GT-S badges question

Just a favour to ask you guys in the USA...I own a 1982 Celica, and down here for that model we didn't get the "GT" or "GT-S" version, we got one badged "XT" instead. Any advertising I've seen from the time is usually in American publications and always calls it GT-S.
I just wondered if anyone had pics of what the hatch lid badges looked like on the GT or GT-S version you got overseas? Are they metal badges that are attached by a couple of pins going through the panel, or what? On ours, the "XT" badge is on the left side with "Toyota Celica" over on the right.
If anyone knows of a source of one of these badges, I'd be interested, just to make mine a little different to all the others running around down here.
Thanks.

I don't have a GT-S badge but I do have lots of info (parts manuals, microfiche, brochures) about all RWD Celicas.
The GT-S is just like the other badges on the car (except the letters of course).
The GT-S car is really a 4 cylinder Celica with various Supra parts added:
- 14x7" wheels
- 225x14" tyres
- wheel arch flares
- Supra sports seats
- Supra sports dash
- IRS (similar to our SA63 IRS)

The Australian XT has most of the trim of a US spec GT.
Is yours an RA60 (21R), SA63 (2S) or RA65 (22R) ?

I'm in Perth, Western Australia.
