Not sure if I broke this today, but...

This Aussie '71 Valiant VG isn't my car, but I've gotten to know it quite well these past few months.

I washed it today, and while drying it off I bumped this trim piece on the trunk lid and noticed it was broken. Did I break it, or was it that way before? I don't know, but I touched it last (and this a good friend's car), so...

Can anyone tell me, is this an Aussie-only emblem, or was it ever used on a US car of some sort (and hopefully still obtainable) ?

The car is going back to the owner next weekend either way, but I'd like to know what my options are.

Thanks!

-The Australian “by Chrysler” emblems are a series of car logos that were used by Chrysler Australia from 1966 to 1981. They featured the word “Chrysler” in a stylized font, with a small “by” above it, and the name of the Australian model below it. The emblems were usually placed on the front grille or the rear boot lid of the cars.

-The Australian “by Chrysler” emblems were discontinued in 1981, when Chrysler Australia was sold to Mitsubishi Motors and renamed as Mitsubishi Motors Australia. The last car to use the emblem was the [Chrysler Sigma], which was based on the Japanese Mitsubishi Galant.
