I guess they could have been filled in by the previous owner but there should still be evidence of them if the inside of the head tube is examined. I'm not not sure exactly when the badge style changed but it was sometime during the 1948 to 1950 model years.

If I get to opening up the head tube I'll make sure to check. I have the feeling if they were there they were covered up as there's other indications of some rust holes being filled in. Cheers.
