Could someone tell me if the attached photo of the stripe cut around the badge is original factory.

No. The 68 front "Camaro" emblem should be further to the right, and not interfere with the stripe. The rear emblem did intrude into the stripe.

On a 67, the front "Chevrolet" script emblem (being longer) did interfere with the front stripe.

On either, the stripe didn't come as close to the emblem as shown in the picture. There should be body color completely around the "C".
