Does this radiator grille and/or its badge match a pre-war Aston Martin? Could it be from an Armstrong Siddeley?
This isn't a trivia thing, I am genuinely trying to identify it, installed on a British stock car in approx 1962. The first link shows some more of the car (ignore the bodywork) and the second link enlarges the radiator detail a bit. There is something "neo-classical / neo-Egyptian" about the badge shape.

I appreciate the attention and help given on this site.
