Our 68 L72 Impala has the original A212CW filter, which the original owner saved when he installed the cowl plenum air cleaner. It is square mesh, but the wire goes on a diagonal (45* angle) unlike any NOS ebay filters I have ever seen, early issue or late. It has the screen print just like the one Rixls6 posted, and element is very oiled down. Also, in Hi-Perf Cars mag in 1968 they did a test of the "Street Racers Special" 68 L72 Biscayne and there is a closeup of the engine, showing this same filter with the diagonal wire. The car hadn't been to Motion at this point. The Biscayne the Impala were both built at Tarrytown, NY cars built in Late November, 1967. I'd get a picture on here, but I am away for school.

That's exactly the A212CW element outer screen we expect to see in NCRS '67 Corvette judging - square mesh, oriented diagonally, of solder-dipped round wire. $2K is a common asking price these days for originals. Photo below.
