Yep, they are fairly common. MY truck is a XLT Lariet and the donor Bronco I used to convert my 2WD to 4x4 was also an XLT Lariet.
FWIW - I am in the middle of "upgrading" the interior to match the rest of the nice woodgrain, cloth seats etc. One thing that always bugged me was that half the interior was nice and the rest of the panels were cheap plastic. After a long search, I finally found a good rubber backed velvety/velour fabric and am padding and then overlaying this fabric on the interior panels. So far so good. A few puckers here and there but not that noticable and way better than stock.
Good Luck,
Lee

No, mine is an 86 so it doesn't have the hood ornament and the Bronco was an 85 and didn't have it either. Hoods on these years were basically flat with no letters or ornaments. Most of the hood decoration was an earlier truck type thing.

my '86 is a. XLT Lariat. i bought it from the original owner. he ordered the truck and deleted the power windows and locks 
. the Lariat badges fell off or were stolen (both disappeared on the same day 
). it never had a hood ornament.
the truck is equipped with cruise, AC, T-19 4 speed, 4x4, 6.9L diesel, dual tanks, bright trim on the sides like the above Bronco (sweet rig BTW
), velour interior, rear slider, interval wipers... i think everything but PW/PL.
when i got it it was in mint condition but now it's showing its age (work truck). but still a good runner at 305K.

The hood ornament looks like one of the option extras you could get on these trucks.
Another type was the wreath with three lions, that look simular to the Explorer hood ornament.
All hood ornaments were options, except for the 1980, and 1981 Explorers which came with them standard.
