Who can help us identify the Spyker's badges in Genevieve?

Letters to the editor

We are looking to identify the badges that where on the Spyker during the famous film Genevieve.

1: Le Touquet
2: ?
3: ANWB (already in our possession)
4: VCC (already in our possession)
5: RACI (already in our possession)
6: ?
7: Royal Motor Union Liège (already in our possession)

Do you have one of these badges that we are missing for sale, or can you help us with their identification? Please let us know.

After comparing a lot of RAC Edward VII badges with those in the film we still haven't found one that matched.
I came across another badge that seems to be very close to the one on the car: Touring Club de Belgique or Touring Club van Belgie.
What do you guys think?

If you watch the movie, the early scene in the garage shows the Spyker’s badge bar hanging up
In the background.

No. 6 confirmed as an early TCS badge.

Just one left!

If anyone knows someone that has the TCS or the Le Touquet badge and is willing to sell, please let me know.

No.2 is an Edward VII RAC variant- the centre enamels varied!
There is one on ebay at the moment. Hope this helps!!

We do have another photo, this is before the Genevieve picture was filmed.
All badges seem to be the same as in the movie except the furthest right.

The badge furthest right: its shape looks like this RAC badge.

The RAC badge and the TCS badge as I mentioned before
seem right to me.

The TCS badge is indeed no. 6, thank you!
No. 2 is close to the RAC you posted, but a bit different I think.

Here are some pictures of the Spyker from the film Genevieve. In two pictures the middle badge is missing.

I tried to find a better view on the badges through the original movie, but unfortunately my digital copy is too grainy to get really better stills. Curiously, the VCC badge in the middle is suddenly gone at some moment between 1 h. 15' 30" and 1 h. 15' 45", when the Spyker and the Darracq are racing furiously through the London streets, nearly at the end of their 'race'.

No. 2: probably (NL) Wegenwacht (W.W.). It would make sense, as the ANWB badge and W.W. badge are normally seen in a pair.
Wegenwacht (W.W.) is the Dutch equivalent of the British AA patrol / AAA road service and is a part of the ANWB.
Only thing: not sure on the colour.

No. 2 seems to be an RAC badge (possibly the version with Edward VII in the centre).
No. 6 may be TCS - an earlier version with the Swiss flag on the bottom instead of top-centre?
