Hi, Ron,

As I recall, a Sportsman has a chrome applique at the base of the C-pillar with
 the word "Sportsman" in gold script.  This moulding forms a sort of rounded V.
 A circular emblem with a black "DeS" insert hovers above.

A non-Sportsman has a plain straight moulding at the base of the C-pillar.  An
 emblem hovering above this looks somewhat like a black enamelled metal version
 of your white plastic crest at the front of the car just below the hood
 opening.
