steering wheel part number on a '69

[joflaig]

I'm just trying to confirm my steering wheel is really original to the car before I advertise it as such. None of the stamped #s appear in the restoration guide book. I'm seeing the following:

2925134
83053

2925135

AANO
68072

50-617

These numbers are the same for all 3 years the standard wood grain wheel was available 1968-69-70. The only difference is that in 1970 each spoke had a hole drilled in it for the Black plastic spacer required to fill in the gap because of the larger steering column. The column was larger in diameter because the ignition switch was moved from the dash to the column in 1970.

The first picture is of a 1970 wheel with the 3 holes for the spacer.

This is a 1968 or 1969 wheel.

This is another 68/69 wheel but notice the numbers are stamped across the width of the spoke instead of the length.

The 68-69 wheels were part number 2925134 with horn retainer number 2925135.
Some of the early 70 wheels were the same part number, but had the holes drilled in the spokes.
Most of the 70 wheels were part number 2996701 with horn retainer number 2996720. These wheels were typically a little lighter in color than the 69 wheels.
