Badge difference with 97 Models?

[100LandyWhale]

I noticed that only on 1997 LC & LX don't have the rear badge that reads "4wd full-time"

Have you guys noticed it? Do you now why Toyota stopped placing the rear badges on 97 models?

I noticed this when I compared my 97 LX with my dad's 96 LC. But just yesterday, my uncle purchased a 97 LC (and it didn't have the 4wd full-time badge) just like my LX

I have a 97, and have the 4wd badge and my Toyota sombrero is positioned in the center.
