Dealer applied "By Berger" emblem (1969).
I grew up in Grand Rapids, and never noticed that the By Berger emblems were screwed or riveted onto the car. I have noticed in some pictures of Berger Camaros, that the By Berger tag is actually scerwed on. Is the legitimate tag screwed on, or attached with adhesive. The knock-off tags actually have a fake screw head on each end.

Real 60's era "ByBerger" scripts were indeed attached using screws straight through the new sheetmetal tailpans/decklids etc. Lots of dealers did it that way back in the 60's. A simple way of advertising back then, is an eye catching status symbol today.

The newer "modern-era" Berger cars use a metal "by Berger" emblem with the fake "cast-in" screws you're talking about. These are also much bigger than the original screw-on versions. In addition, I have found that there are at least 2 different styles of the old screw-on Berger emblems, as some are stamped metal, polished, and very thin, while others are thicker die-cast metal and chrome plated.
