I'm trying to figure out/locate what this diesel logo is from.

I'm not sure it's a VW badge. Caddy's use lower case letters, and the Euro ones I've seen use a different font. That font doesn't look VW.

I’m quite sure it isn’t VW.

Looks early 70's Japanese to me, Toyota?, Mitsubishi?, Hino?

Late 70s early 80’s Cadillac badge maybe?

Unbelievable! I’ve been wondering what vehicle that came from since March of 1984

Thanks for the link!
All around good guy Scott Livingstone found an NOS emblem for me last Christmas. One more important part of the 1300 What? puzzle.
