The car was featured in the January '68 SS & DI. Appears to have the same emblem; the Camaro emblem above it looks to be much higher than the production location.

May be just an old legend, back in the day I heard many Camaro racers replaced the front fenders with GMPD service parts, said to be a thinner gauge steel.

I don't think I have seen an NOS/replacement GM front fender that did not already have the holes for the Camaro emblem pre-drilled(punched). I'm guessing all production line fenders had the holes for the Camaro emblem in place as the baseline configuration, especially by the time Jenkins' car was built, however the video images throw a wrench in that thought.
