The two metal round ones are factory style for 67-69 camaro. Assembly line original were pastel blue. This is based on original owner, un-restored cars that i have seen or owned.

What make/model/year? If it's for a 69 Camaro, I did some research a few years back. From the limited number of replies from owners with original cars, seemed the most likely flasher numbers were Tung-Sol 224 (turn signal) and 552 (emergency 4-way), and possibly Signal-Stat 175 and 170 too. The 1969 AIM calls up several different part numbers, and I wasn't able to find out a definitive answer, nor if there was a difference between standard or RS models. I recall the turn signal flasher was load-sensitive, giving an audible sign (change in rate) that a bulb had blown, whereas the 4-way was constant rate.
None of the 'believed original' assembly-line correct units had 'DOT' on the can, so this was probably a change introduced in the '70s.

I am sure theres pictures of these on the CRG site. I will see if I can remember and get a picture of the one on my Z today. I am thinking it was pale blue plastic

Best I could determine was T-S 552 (metal) for the 4-way in the fuse block, and T-S 224 (pale blue plastic) for the turn signal in the clip on the under-dash brace.
