OG badges are slightly curved, so they follow the front panel perfect.
If your badge is flat it's probably repro.

Even that is difficult to work out! The centre of the logo is raised meaning it's either slightly curved or poorly manufactured! :)

The other badge I have is noticeably curved but could be bent.
 
The grille which your referring to were an added optional extra called "formula Vee" air intake grilles, circa 1970. I think they were made by VW of America. I don't think the VW logo on them has any bearing on the logo (different one on the rear of the VW emblem).

Anyhow here are some nice pictures :D

My own VW badge - sporting the unusual but original logo :msn4:

And on a nice sierra yellow 71 bus (the best colour of all)
