1988 911 Center Caps (Grand Prix White) - What's the right crest color combination

I am looking to paint my center caps over the holidays. A little downtime with whiskey in hand and paint brush in the other! My Fuchs are grand prix white but the logo coloring is a little confusing. I am not sure if this is the handywork of previous owners (who got the logo wrong) or if this is how it left the factory? From the pic you will see the Porsche header background is black, the stripes that are usually black are red - reversed from the original logo etc.

Any thoughts on whether this is genuine and I should repaint as it is, or whether I should repaint to represent the standard color combinations? I have searched net but can't seem to find an accurate factory representation of Grand Prix White center caps.

(2 photos attached. My Center Cap. Plus one off the net with standard color combo)

Thanks in advance
Jon

caps are the color of the spokes unless you've got optional crests plugged into the holes in the caps - like a hood crest but on the cap

I have little badges like krasuskyp mentioned. I think it was a cost option.
