Default Re: NOS 65-69 Camaro Chevelle Nova 12 Bolt axle cover

Nice part,but wouldn't you consider the #3852998 to be a 1970 application too?
My October '69 assembled 1970 L-78 Chevelle has this non notched cover,as well as the few other non tampered with 1970 Chevelles I've seen.
Always considered the later notched #3976857 was for 1971/72 applications.
Maybe due to having to move the rear brake line TEE for the now behind the backseat,trunk mounted fuel tank vapor capture?

Also,Chevrolet parts history shows the #3976857 Notched cover as early as September 1970,for 1971 production,but no earlier that I can find so far.
First Chevrolet parts book page from Sept.1969.
Second from Sept.1970.
Third from Oct.1970
Fourth from April 1975.
