As I understand it, the Longhorn emblem was hit or miss, I don't remember if it was a plant thing or year of assembly.
From the research I have done I think it was a plant thing. Some of the emblems have adhesive backing and no studs and some of the emblems have studs so it is hard to tell. Flint and Janesville for sure did weird things anyway. I'm not sure if we'll ever find a reasoning.

Like Larry said, should have been body color. 90% of the ones I find/see are a dark bare color but that's because the paint was gone from the wood from years of exposure. Most of the ones I find have no wood left.

Also, the wood in the bed is painted orange.
I've had a couple of 70s with the Longhorn script on them so who knows.
