The caption refers to being near the end of the assembly line at DAP. This car or possibly it's 2 different red cars, do not have the emblem on the car.
Unfortunately, the resolution of the document I have is on the low side, so I can't offer up any other details, nor can I post a copy. (Tom had requested that I keep this confidential.)
In my mind, this sort of supports John's belief that the emblems were added at the dealership. Like John, I too am an original owner, but my car sat on the dealers lot for a good 9 months before I bought it.

Here is a photo of a 1993 Cobra R moving through the assembly process. You can just barley make out the bottom of the Cobra Emblem in the photo.
Although in the photo of all 107 93 R models at DAP it looks like there are no side emblems present. We may never know for sure. This is a very early photo before the wheels were changed.
