While they'll stick right on, they will not be as flush with the C-pillar as the 20-24 Defenders, as they have a recessed C-pillar where the badge goes.

I'm assuming the lack of LR badging is due to the rebrand/split of LR to Defender and Discovery? On the US website I can see 1-2 photos of a red-ish (sorry I don't know the color names) 130 with the badge on the outside C pillar, whereas the rest don't. I'm a lurker on this side of the forum and haven't stayed super up to date with LR news.

That is correct. This house of brands nonsense was the brainchild of Thierry Bollore, a Frenchman who took a French business attitude and decimated a historic British company. Jaguar as we know it, is done for, and splitting up LR was a bloody stupid thing. I do understand Range Rover to an extent. Nobody says, "I drive a Land Rover Range Rover;" everyone says, "I drive a Range Rover." But still, Range Rover has always been and always will be a part of the Land Rover brand.
