Which version did the LH L34 have ?

Were they the first with the newer lion ?

Because the LH series was the first Holden to use the new lion badge, you would think they would have.

The cap itself wont be different only the decal, it may have been changed by a previous owner as these caps were stolen in great numbers and the latter lion caps would be more plentifull and easyier to find, i remember years back at swapmeets these caps sold for $1-$5.00 ea second hand but now will pull $200. for a set on ebay even more for short tails.
