The Rosewood N34 wheel replaced the Walnut wheel early December 1968.

My 12B Camaro came with a Rosewood wheel if your looking to narrow the time frame. Maybe others with early Dec. cars could chime in. Narrow it down a little better.

Way back in the late '70s, I had an LM1 parts car N555xxx with a rosewood. A bud had a loaded SS 396 auto N545xxx that had a walnut. Don't recall the exact VINs but that puts the range Nov 19-Dec 5.

The changeover may not have been immediate. 1st & 2nd design rear spoilers and 6/7 6/8 tachs are examples of changes that took some time to fully implement.

AF1FE has an early December daytona yellow z28, the car has tons of docs and it has a Walnut wheel.
Latest car i know, and falls right in line with the dates William is windowing.
