Not quite sure why they weren't consistent on this, but the smaller heralds
were applied to the passenger RS units. Ones that I can confirm with the
smaller logo on the short hood end are:

902, 904, 905, 907-910, 912, 915, 916, 918-922, 950, 952-954

Note that some were later replaced with the larger logo, too. For the
modelers out there, here's a shot of the 919's short hood which clearly
shows these units did NOT have the large housing beneath the wheel as seen
on the Atlas models...
