The correct medallion is diamond shaped like the medallion shown in your photo.
Thanks JYDog, so either the rounded tip ot pointed tip is correct ?? overall shape is the same on both sets i have.

GM generally had 2-3 suppliers for each part. They all used the same engineering drawings but didn't always make exactly the same parts. Some of that was due to wear and damage on molds and dies as well. As an example I can put multiple (I am remembering as 11) '30-'32 "candy cane" hood latches next to each other and all will not be the same. Since none of us saw the parts being made or unboxed at the assembly plant a little leeway must be tolerated. That being said, some more recent reproductions are easily distinguished from originals so the should be viewed with a more critical eye.
