My badge with letters fit both a TR3 and TR3A front apron.  That would lead
me to believe that your badge is the problem; but it might just be a matter
of tolerances stacking up.  For only 1/8", my approach would be to take a
few strokes with a rat-tail file in each hole, until the badge fit.  Add a
dab of paint or grease to cover the raw edges (which will be hidden by the
badge).
