Question about 1969 A-body column shift arm

Hi All
Well, I'm not sure if this is the standard shape of a 1969 A-body shift arm or if its been bent over the years. I do believe this is a 1969 A-body column as it has the one year sport steering wheel on it. I thought I've handled a 1969 column shift column in the past, but the bends in this don't look the way I was expecting. What do you guys think?

Hi John!

That's also a unique-to-1969 Olds ignition cylinder. The shifter looks right although it is different than the one on my '68, probably due to the ignition being moved from the dash in '68 to the steering column in '69.

Thank you Randy! The bends in it looked different than I thought it should for the A-body. But its likely just been a long time since I looked at one.
