What type hood is this ?

Can anyone help identify this hood ? It is on a 69 Cutlass I just picked up.

The cutout appears to be stock or if fabricated someone did a real nice job.
The black shadow appears to be the outline for a scoop.

'69 Hurst Olds. hood?? I have zero experience with those cars & don't know what they looked like under the scoop but I'm sure someone on here will. On the underside does it look like there were nuts/bolts around those small holes on each side of the large hole?

69 Hurst had two scoops. I am guessing this is just a 60 Cutlass hood that somebody cutout for an aftermarket scoop..

I am no expert but sure looks like a H/O hood to me. Yes two scoops but went into one opening.

I doubt it's an original one. The Demmer-built cars have a very crude rectangular hole. The four corners of the hole have about 1" diameter holes in the corners that were cut in the hood first, then the straight sides of the hole were cut between them. I've not seen one with a curved edge to the cutout like that.
