If its a v grille car, it has a wider strip. If its pre-v like Gavs it has the (far superior) thin red one.

Seriously - anything with a wide stripe isn't standard. Old people can buy second hand cars as well you know. 
Don't forget, merit/envoy didn't even have a stripe so if they've bought the car in 2001 and asked the dealer to be a nice man and put a stripe on so it doesn't get dented in Tesco, he might have ordered a thick one.
It doesn't necessarily suggest big accident damage although if I was buying one I'd possibly have a sneaky peak behind it see if there was a paint seam.
I'm fairly sure the stripe should carry a date marker like this, manufactured in March 98.
Old bits don't have the earlier years moulded in there.
Dave - that latest pic looks like the stripe is sloping down at the back, clearly not a factory job!
