I am fairly sure it should have the chrome strip because any Cutlass Conv in 1970, except 442, would be a Supreme (even the SX) and would therefore have the chrome strip. The wagons and 4 doors I think used the same flat hood but no chrome strip. The non ram air doublehump metal hood was 442 and Cutlass S only and also had no chrome strip.
Again, I am fairly sure of this - hopefully an expert will chime in

oh yes, definitely. Olds began not putting chrome strips down the middle of hoods back during the rule of charlemagne in the early 800s. By 1070, that styling idea had run its course, and chrome strips returned to the middle of the hood. Actually, it would have happened earlier, but the battle of hastings in 1066 caused a four-year delay.

Now you have me thinking. I bought a 1970 supreme convertible. it has the double hump hood. alot of the pics I"ve seen have the flat hood with chrome center strip yet others are just the "double hump".

We all have a fat finger once in a while..... all fixed now 
It never ceases to amaze me how many subtle differences Olds used with the different models in a single year. I'm still looking at hoods and wondering why this one came on that car, but if you had this other car it was a different one......
