For what it's worth, I have an 1969 Z/28 without a factory tach. It also has no console. Also have the chassis broadcast sheet, actually only about 60% of it has survived life under the back seat. The car is an 05A car built in LA. I've talked to the original selling dealer who confirmed for me that they typically ordered Z's for inventory as cheaply as possible thus my car came without most options.

Yeah Grody Chevrolet here did the same, also with Impala Nova's and Chevelle's. Ton's of low option SS badges all over the lot those days.

Per the 1969 Visual ID Table (NOTE 7):

Quote
7.Tachometer was optional except for post-May Z28's. If present, it requires a console or center fuel gauge.

I just noticed something very strange about the burnished brown car that was with this lemans blue car from this past auction.  Please access the team camaro thread posted by ZLP955, a couple of threads above.  I may be very wrong but check out the trim tag on the burnished brown car.  NOR 148792 on a 10D build date with an X77D80 X code.  If it is a Oct. 4th week of 1968, why is it a X77D80.  If it is a Oct 4th week of 69, why is the body numbers below the 05C car with a body number of 324823.  If I have stuck my head up my backside, well I did it again, but I think I saw something very wrong with that trim tag.

They restarted body numbers in August of 1969.
