Pics of pre MY21 with R Design badge on boot?

I know not everyone's a badge fan but I like them. The R Design boot badge was dropped I think and certainly our MY22 doesn't have one.
I sourced one off that auction site but it's in a clear rhumboid shape as per the pic, and with a mount effect, whereas from what I can see the OEM was no mount and an ordinary straight edge rectangle.
Does anyone have a boot pic on their MY20 or earlier showing the Volvo OEM R Design badge so I can check the style?
TIA.

Much obliged 007. So still a rhomboid shape then. I'll temporarily fix it and decide yay or nay.
Cheers.

Looks like your auction badge has aliasing artifacts on the "Design" lettering, not to mention the incorrect typeface. I think it's a bad copy from China.

I think you're right. What's worse is the listing pics clearly include some of the genuine article.
There are other sale items described as "official Volvo" for iro £100
I like badges. But not that much
