The holes for the morris cooper badge are identical to the normal Morris badge. As for the S they seem to have ever such slight variation from new as far as I’m able to tell. I’ve two genuine Morris Cooper S bonnets and they differ ever so slightly. Of course one could be retro done in the past but I’ve known both cars since the late 60s / early 70s. I can get pics and measurements for you in a couple of days if I’m not beaten to it

Have sent a message with the dimensions, or at least a ruler held next to the badges

... the numbers are the wrong way round on the top measurement for the 's';
I've corrected the top dimensions for the S badge. Maybe delete the image in your post so the wrong one isn't replicated by others.

Just been checking my bonnets again and mine are both 20mm and not 18 up from the centre lower edge of the bonnet, though it is difficult to be absolutely precise due to the lip turning in. I therefore gave attention to the 'sit' of the badge on the bonnet, which I would imagine is the critical thing?
Hopefully this nice clean side view will show what I mean?
