All of the materials I have state "440-H Hardtop" -- which, yes, could be 
confusing the matter.  Best option I can think of is this...

1. Does the car actually have a Hurst branded shifter? No.
2. Does it have a Hurst logo on the car? No.

The "H" does initally appear to possibly be their logo, until one notices 
that Rambler split their "H" horizontally.  As opposed to the Hurst logo, 
which splits it vertically, and includes the words "Hurst" within the 
logo.
