Headlight bezel on the 85-90 TAs...need info

As many of you know - my 87 GTA is being repaired right now. In the accident, the gold PONTIAC lettering on the headlight bezel came off and broke. Here's my problem....

I can't find ANY of these gold lettering pieces. Trans Ams got silver PONTIAC and GTA's got gold PONTIAC. I'm pretty sure that the silver and gold pieces were more different than just color....but I could be wrong.

Anybody with a picture of their driver's side headlight bezel lettering (whether TA or GTA) - please post. I need that gold lettering to be perfect.

Thanks

and here's a picture I zoomed in on.

Are the letters on the TA's flat? Or are they more beveled like the GTA?

The letters on the T/A are the same as on the GTA. The only difference, as far as I can tell, is the color.
