Default Thin Spoke Center Caps - Difference?

I picked up a set of 2003 clear coated polished aluminum thin spokes that I figured I would strip and polish. Turns out the previous owner had an aversion to soap and water and the wheels were too pitted (mainly in the barrel and some on the corners of the spokes) to polish so they are being power coated.

My question is - are the center caps for the polished wheels different than the painted ones? From the pictures I've seen, the painted wheel look to have an embossed flag instead of what looks like a sticker on the polished. Is this correct?

Thanks,
-Mike

You are correct - the painted wheels do have an embossed C5 logo on them and the polished wheels have a decal.
