I was under the impression that the Isetta had a specific badge made just for it. These were plastic material with moulded reverse which was painted and the badge stuck on. They are thus rare as they fell of, got nicked or UV light destroyed them. The badge was scripted in a different font with seraphs I think. The 600 had a similar badge for the rear sides but that was hollow. Some sources said these were the same, no expert. Not sure if the BMW badged Goggos used the same/similar badging. Not sure when the badge was redesigned but BMW should know all this. At one time Mannheim had replica cast Isetta badges available. I traded in these for a bit and these had two spurs on the reverse which needed two drilled holes and fasteners on the reverse. Look great but not right. Also available and close were an enamelled badge fastened by two screws. These also appeared on the British market at one time again sourced from Mannheim I expect.
