Default Emblem question.

I recently purchased some Corvette items from an Estate sale. Are these C5 emblems? The reason I ask is because of the design. However these do not look like either one on my '98. These are curved. I appreciate any input.

Could those be the waterfall badges for the convertible? Not sure, but I'd imagine that's them.

Those are the C5 emblem design and I agree they may be for the vert waterfall.

My OEM front badge either retained some of the original curve or picked it up from the surface, but I believe only C5 logos have the circle around them

also they may be from a specific year, most C5 emblems were black. 2004 and some 2004s were silver

My 82 Collector Edition has a circle also. (But clearly his is not a C3.)
