The listing I mention is an active listing. You do not have to inquire to buy it.
It is a Buy it now for $18.95 or make an offer.....$2.75 shipping.
That seems like a good deal to me ... or ... Make a reasonable offer.

That part number is for the rear beauty bar emblem, to small for the front grille emblem

That's weird ....
I just measured the ones on my 2011 and they measure the same.
The only thing I cannot tell for sure is if they have the same bend/curve.
Approx.
7 5/8" Long
3" wide
I searched for Front Bow Tie on the e bay search Box.

I looked again at both of mine and It appears that the front might have just a skosh more bend to fit the grill curve.
Beats me why the price for the front is so much higher.
The rear attaches with self stick tape while I think the front has studs and nuts and must be the reason.

I am well over 70, spent over fifty years as an Engineer, and from my perspective there is no good reason why they should not be the same, p/n and all. If they are not, it is simply irresponsible design.

The front bowtie is larger, adheres to the grille with doublesided tape.
Silverfox it is plausible that your front bowtie was replaced by the PO before you bought it.
note some ads on EBay show they also fit the Silverado front grille, but they don’t.
I fell for that myself a few years ago, thankfully my friend needed a rear bow tie for his Chevy Uplander.
OldSwede, it’s not an engineering deal, just what’s in the parts bin that fits.
the front bow tie delaminates and takes all the stone chips and has always been over priced.
