Dual Snork Air Cleaner?

I have an air cleaner for my '69 which was in a box of original equipment from the car when purchased. There are no part numbers (that I've found). The lid is 15.5" in diameter. Is it possible a '69 442 came with a dual snorkle air cleaner but not cold air induction?
I plan on putting a cold air system in, and not to simulate a W-30 but a cool breath of air makes my engine happier.

Do the snorkels have parallel sides and no flanges on the ends, or are they tapered with flared out ends? The former could be a W-30 air cleaner or it could be a later model Camaro air clearer. The latter is probably a GTO air cleaner. I had one of those on my first 68 442 decades ago.

The drivers side snorkel has a slight down turn, passenger side breather hole, back of the body is pushed in slightly, I assume to clear the distributor. See the pics below and give me your feel. Pardon the black and white photos but I don't want you to see the hideous color they were painted. If it will accomodate a cold air system I'm having it chromed anyway.

The "pushed in" backside means it came on an engine with HEI - mid 70s at least. I'm going to say Camaro. It's definitely not Olds.
