Hard to say what happened but the rear bow tie 427 emblem is a bit odd.

The 1968 Yenko used a Yenko 427 emblem and Yenko crest so seems logical to do the same on the 1969s as shown in many original photos

What is interesting is the DY Ed Hedrick Yenko had the rear bow tie 427 emblem same as the OG drag special.

Ed's car was built with the standard 1969 emblems as shown in early photos of Ed's car.
Ed changed it after the car was hit in the back

Same thing may have happened to the OG drag special
The OG drag special was a demo on the road a few months and thousands of miles before the drag test.

Again , hard to say what happened especially with a demo car.
