Differences in tank "Ducati" tank graphics

I've noticed after looking at a few different 821 Hypers in person and in pictures that some have raised, 3D tank lettering and some have decal like lettering. Mine has the decal [flat] lettering and I don't know that I've seen another one like it; it's also a 2013.

So as somewhat of a poll and perhaps discussion, who has raised lettering and who has decals?
 
Strada: Raised 3D lettering

Motard: Flat decal

Ambientscape - is this something you made sense of yourself or did you read it (etc.) somewhere. Seems like an odd thing to change between trims/models. Nonetheless maybe its the answer.

Thats the version we have in Vietnam. So I assume its standard? No?
 
2013, raised decal.

Is it possible that the flat decal ones have be repaired/painted.
Mind you Ducati does seem to have a habit of just fitting random parts as they go along.
 
Alright, so its still looking like decals are motards, raised letters are stradas. Perhaps mystery solved.
