Anybody know anything about this emblem/lens

Was thinking Dodge Brothers but there was only 2 of them. Desoto emblems always had a helmet on but a lot different style. These 3 guys kinda look like they might be wearing chainmail. Beginning to think it might be bicycle/motorcycle related and not automotive. There is a mounting stud on the back side.

They built cars at one time, but transitioned to truck manufacturing. The company was bought by WP Chrysler to enter the truck business. After the purchase of Dodge it became Dodge Truck.
