You might want to have it checked out for accidents since there is a chance that the body shop didn't know what they were doing. But in all honesty this could be done for any number of reasons. The owner might have gotten a badged one and changed his/her mind later on. Or, perhaps, the owner did not like the wing blocking the badge and decided to move it.

Did you ask the dealer? If they don't know, they might be able to put you in touch with the previous owner.

I think a badge that high looks crappy. I suggest moving it down or doing away with it completely, my opinion of course.

1) The current location is high

2) perhaps the car was originally ordered with the no cost "designation delete". Maybe the more recent owner wanted the name put back, did it himself, and thought it looked great there.

3) It can be removed

Personally, I'm thinking about pulling off my grey Boxster emblem (lots of white crap around it from wax and such... then get the 986 emblem.

well either its been hit/repainted and put on there by mistake
or
the owner wanted to be original, as stupid as that looks.

also, when taking the badgeoff, make sure that it still doesnt show the "boxster" from sun beating on the rest of the lid but not under the badge.
i debadged mine, and i can still see it, so i put new emblem on
