Ther has never been any AC15 or AC30 badges on Vox amplifiers, but at the time of the "TV front" models, there was small "Fifteen" and "Thirty" badges on the lower part of the grill.
See Jim Elyah's book "Vox amplifiers, the JMI years" page 174-175.

Peter,

Some VOX combo models came with a small model name plate in the lower right corner at the front, most didn't . Here's two examples, an AC10 with a 'TEN TWIN' plate, and an AC30 TB with 'AC 30 TOP BOOST' displayed in the same manner. These plates break away very easily during the hits and bashes amps get during transportation between gigs, and seem to disappear early in the life of any amps that had one. My AC50 speaker box has a similar plate marked 'SUPER TWIN' but I have never heard the AC50 referred to as that, so it remains a mystery to me as to why it was there. ;)
