All the 30 odd A3000s we had at school were dual-badged, the Acorn badge
being at the top left of the keyboard and the BBC Micro label and Owl logo
at the top right of the keyboard.  The BBC Micro label also had the old
A(rchimedes) logo and the 3000 identifier.

This can all be seen at http://acorn.chriswhy.co.uk/Computers/A3000.html .
You need to scroll down the page to get at the pictures.

I suspect that the German ones would have been just the same.  Why bother
changing the labels?
