Badge area is different on MG's as it has the octagon badge. VP just has the ordinary rectangular BL flash badge. So in that respect, not swappable. Sorry!Membership Secretary

The Efi type grilles definately had thē MG plinth moulded in, so were different..I've got to venture into the loft later, so will check this..(assuming I can find the grilles ha ha ha!)

I've discovered that later efi grills has 4 slats/bars and the badge moulded into the grill, but the MG sign is flat and can be removed leaving the badge housing so to speak compared to the whole badge being removable on early maestros.
not sure when this happened.
But just to state, its the early REMOVABLE multi slat/bar badge type I'm after.
