Correct 68 Fender Braces?

Looking for a source for correct 68 front fender braces. A quick search shows two styles, one w/o rubber and one with, but they are listed for 68-69 and 70, respectively. Did 69 use both styles, or are these errors in the listings? Also, the listing title below says 68, but the description says 69 and up. Just want to make sure I know what I need before I order the wrong thing.

as stated, no rubber for 68. the same braces are used for 69 W cars (W-30/W-31/W-32). rubber was used in 69 on the non W cars, the under bumper scoops interfered. That ebay listing is wrong, which isn't surprising. Those rivets are correct for 69 and 70. They changed the style in 71.
