the badge is there on a number of Clwyd ERFs from the same period. See picture 34350 for instance. I suspect it designated ERF bodywork which was build by Jennings of Sandbach, who were owned by ERF by this time. Having said that I cannot find such a badge on any non ERF Jennings bodies appliances - there are several on this site. see picture 22242 from Norfolk but this is earlier.
Hi Craig, The round badge appears to be the bodybuilders badge as I have a frontal pic of SMH346F which has an Oval badge in this position. SMH346F, SMH347F and one other where bodied by HCB-Angus.
i have a photo of this ERF in a scrap yard with everthing striped off no blue lights horns etc etc
