1967 Barracuda front end parts

Looks like the center of that header panel was cut away. That and using 3 grilles to build 1 long continuous grille was a SAVAGE design. So I'm wondering was this a SAVAGE Barracuda or a clone attempt ?
The correct 67 header panel will have holes for badges all the way across the front. Those badges are 1 year, this application only P L Y M O U T H block letters. I personally hate the feckin' things.
Every other badge ( too many of them ) is script. I've wondered were these block letters to appeal to jocks ?

And by the way.. I think I see a hole for a round side marker lamp which is 68 model ( same as that header panel w/ no badge holes ).
