The emblems for the 400/450 are vastly different from the 560 and 504 emblems. On the 400/450, they're stainless and the "McCormick" and "Farmall" pieces are separate. On the newer tractors, it's one piece, and aluminum. For the 560 and other '60 series, I believe the emblem was bare aluminum with black lettering. For the 504 and other '06 series, the emblem was black with white lettering as I recall. The more I think about this, the more things I'm remembering. Dad had an Super M, a 560 and a 756 when I was little. Grandpa had an 806. I remember looking the four tractors over, comparing differences and similarities, and seeing how IH gradually transitioned from the old to the new. One of the things I seem to recall is how IH transitioned from "McCormick Deering Farmall" to just "International" on the hood. I think the '06 series is where they started using "McCormick International," in order to transition to the "International" emblems on the 1206 and the '56 series.
