I think it's a typo, as all of us know that's a 1600 cc engine.
that or, as google, they (TG) can't discerner between the two symbols.

A comma would have just looked weird, the dot has a nicer look on the badge.
It also helps having the lower part of the badge plain straight, without the comma.

Main reason is coz the UK uses '.' for decimal point and comma ',' for thousands separators. We've never used the ';'.
Another historical abomination.
In the late 40s the Standards Industry unit documentation were agreed to be the STANDARD was defined in the English version and the period was defined as use for numbers .. but the French were acknowledged as using the comma.
BUT the French publications ignored this minor twist and later they forced the putting aside of the "English standard is the right one" in the SI and continued their practise of commas.
Interesting question from me for the vernacular usage is how does everyone say 2.3 in their own language ?
eg we say "two point three" and so clearly it's dot and can never really be a comma.
WHat do non-English language users say ? This has got me thinking ....

In Estonian 2,3 = kaks koma kolm
It is comma.
In catalan and spanish 2,3 = dos coma tres
Lack of charisma can be fatal.
Visca Catalunya!
Virgola

It isn't that British cars had a good image over here (try to explain the 75 diesel had a BMW drivetrain...).
Personality, they say.
