I've seen something similar on an XP, thought it was a dealer fitted accessory.

I would have said customline too. My grandfather had one, and I seem to recall from photos that it did have that bonnet emblem.

I think you might be thinking of this one, it is on the bonnet of a completely original XK ute.
