That is not an NOS applique. It is a reproduction.

The NOS versions have a raised chrome edge around the switch holes and the sliders.

I had 2 of them, and they did not look like that.

The switch areas are raised but originals did not have raised edges on the slide portions.

Agree with 1970VistaCruiser....the originals have the raised border ONLY around the vertical switch slots and the horizontal slider bar openings are "smooth" (ie no intentional raised border).

Don't happen to have one in the non-AC version do you?
