The badge on our car looks clearly like the typical 'RENAULT 12' single piece badge which was likely the initial name in Australia as dsl suggested. I think the 1.4 Litre should stay but in the extra field. Unless there is a source showing that badge instead of '12' with a similar shape?

Also the side profile of front part fits with Serie 1 more likely. It's too high for Serie 2. And that's answer why we have 'RENUALT-12' badge here. -- Last edit: 2019-01-26 16:39:48
