Is This The Correct Wheel Bezel For A Jan 70 SS2?

The wheels on my project were not the original ones, but they had all the wheel bezels still on them in amazingly good condition. The pic below shows what they look like after spending 30 seconds on it with some steel wool. If it is not correct can someone post a pic of what is? Thanks.

Bump - anyone? I'm sure lots of guys know this off the top of their head. Researched the threads - maybe I'm not entering the correct text string, but nothing definitive comes up.

Joe, it looks correct to me. Wasn't till much later around 1978 that the design changed to the more pointed non embossed ones. You're fine with those. Did you know that the original SSII wheels back in 68 didn't have these? The raised areas around the openings were painted silver to start with, but that quickly changed.

I 'believe' I've tagged these correctly. Please let me know if this helps.

God yes this helps. Thanks. If you have 25 nice ones of the 68-74 style, would you be willing to trade for this set I have of the 75 & up ones and some cash (see pic below) They are in excellent condition - this is with just a 15 second buff on each. Thanks.
