Default GEN III V8 Emblems

OK, so I'm at the NSRA Southeast Nationals yesterday, and came across at '37 Chevy that had 'GEN III V8' emblems on each side of the hood. These looked like something GM made. The owner of the car wasn't there so I couldn't ask him/her. Do these sound familiar to anyone?

I appreciate you looking, but I've been into Google about 30 pages. This thing is about an 1 1/4" high and 3 1/2" long. The 'GEN III' is in small lettering and the 'V8' takes up about 1/3 of the emblem. It's rectangular like the newer Northstar emblems. I could have sworn that I've seen these before, possibly on a Buick Ranier or similar.

Looks like Holden has a car named the Calais that had a Gen III V8. Maybe from there?

Actually, since this was on a street rod, I'm starting to think this may come with a crate motor(?). Has anyone bought a GM crate engine?
