Your '60 must be a Custom Two Door Southampton.The Crown model says CROWN in gold letters over the signature on each front fender. There is also a gold crown mounted on each rear quarter close to the tail light I have seen some Crown models without these distinctions, but it was because the fenders were replaced, or the letters/ornaments removed and the holes filled.
There were no LeBaron Two Door Southamptons.All 1960 Imperial Customs had the same upholstery pattern. If the original cloth was covered in crowns, w/ "leather grain" vinyl bolsters, the car is a Custom. That is unless someone bought the seats out of a Custom and put them in a different model. I've seen Customs with Crown interiors, LeBarons with Custom interiors, Crowns with Custom interiors, but they didn't come that way.
Other than the designations, the biggest difference between 1960 Customs and Crowns is the interior, and also the list of standard equipment/options. LeBarons are well labeled, and easy to distinguish.

I must have been tired when I checked out the link. You are right about the models. I have a 60 Imperial that has no badges to speak of and only says Imperial on the front fender. Nothing to tell what
model other that it is a two door ht.
