[Healeys] 3000 Mk III cloisonne front badge

[BJ8Healeys]

The BJ7 badge had "Austin-Healey", and the BJ8 badge has it without the hyphen.   There is only one part number in the BMC parts list for the BJ7 badge, and one for BJ8, so only empirical data would identify if there was a change point in the middle of the models.  Previous discussions didn't surface anyone who had a BJ7 badge without the hyphen, or a BJ8 badge with it.

Now that we are all focused on the badge I would like to put out a question--one that I have asked before and never received what seemed to have been a definitive answer:  

 

How and when did "Austin-Healey" as written on the earlier badges become "Austin Healey" as was done on the badges for later cars?
