This is what I believe from all I have seen and heard since 1971. Chrysler intended to put the R/T Badge with the Challenger badge on the fender if stripes were deleted on the 1971 Challenger. Now if you ordered the stripe Chrysler would not put on the R/T badge on the fender and just use the R/T decal at the end of the stripe. Now we all know that sometimes things get screwed up at the factory and with the change over of personal during the Year, Month or even day via the relief man taking over for 15 minutes during the relief each day that one of these people could of put on R/T badges on a Challenger that got the stripe. I do not know what went on first the Stipes or the Badges. I bet if someone put badges on one side and it made it down to inspection and repair with no R/T badges on the other side,that instead of ripping off an R/T badge on one side, they would just put a badge on the other side not affecting paint one bit for another repair. It would be easier just to add a badge to the car and just ship it to the dealer than to send it over to repair to have them take a badge off and maybe have to fix a paint repair.
1971 Challenger best E Body on the planet.

In 1971 there was no grill or tail panel R/T emblems, only on the sides as mentioned. There was Dodge emblems on the front and back.

Did all stripe delete 71 R/T Challengers also come without the flip open fuel door? 
I'd like to see a better pic of those R/T emblems - looks like they're in the wrong spot below the Challenger emblem?

Take a look at this FACTORY engineering drawing. That should clear up any concern you have about the placement of the emblems.

My stripe delete 71 has the normal cap - but lets not base anything on a sample size of two
