Thank you for posting.
Brilliant, another film for my AM collection.

I did note - no carbon badges on the GTE.

The race cars have been using stickers for years. With all the abuse a race car sees, there's no reason to deal with the cost and complexity of badges and replacement badges when a sticker does the job just fine.

Might they perhaps be real badges, put on for the film? They do look shiny.

Yeah those are definitely badges! What the hell am I smoking? Maybe I'm remembering some privateer teams or something? Or maybe I'm just losing my mind...

They use real iconic badges painted differently according to the country hosting the race, rather than those in CF

Vindication!
Wings logo sticker, not badge, on the Vantage GT3 from this weekend (pic in the photo thread). I knew I wasn't crazy...
