GMC console emblem?

As part of my restoration I'm re-doing the console in my 1970 Sierra Grande; it does not look like anyone reproduces the console emblem (it says GMC).

I could polish my original out, but it's painted in a way that will make it tough to make look right. It's only painted in the deeply recessed area, not all recessed areas.

I also discovered that if you look at the backside of it, it's embossed with the Chevy bowtie. I'm guessing they saved money by using the same die for both the Chevy and the GMC, even though the GMC is different on the front!

Anyone know if there's a repro I've missed in my searching?

Thanks!
Dave
