Good observation.. and that info certainly should help resolve this...   but I'm a bit confused about the fact that the 'eared pn' was in the parts book until 1971.  If it was 'used' up early in the '69 model year, why wasn't it removed from the parts book sooner than 1971?  OR did it get preserved as a part number but with a rubber gasket in it??

AC GT53  thisis the original gas cap from the Lemans BLue 10D early Norwood car, there is a PN change, the early part number crosses to the AC GT 53.

I don't know how I missed this thread, and I don't know how much more information is needed. I looked at the gas cap from my 69 that came with it when I bought the car in the summer of 1979 and the cap still has gray primer sprayed on it by a previous owner. Car is an 02D built in NOR, has ears, SM stamp on one of the ears, black rubber gasket, has the 3 indention's on the back side, finger tabs are located closer to the "ANTI SURGE" lettering than "VEN TED", which appears to be more uncommon. Maybe I can eBay it for $500 because it is the more rare 2nd version or something like that. LOL. Cap looks to be in good non corroded but dirty and painted shape so my guess is it will stay on the car if and when I ever get it finished.

Cap from my 01C Norwood '69 RS (VIN #19N581767; final assembly on or about 20-21 Jan 1969) is shown in this and the next post.  My cap is the same as the one in the first posting in this thread from Dave69x33.

As far as I know it is original to my car.  Still had some of the dealer undercoating overspray on it.   I had to clean off some of the overspray in order to get a decent pic. Undercoating covers the bottom of my gas tank and some of the filler neck with overspray on the cap. 

First pic here.  Secon pic in next post. 

It is marked with the stamped words "VENTED" and "ANTI SURGE".  There is also a stamped "S" in the center of the cap and a manufacturer's mark stamped on one of the ears (pic in next post).
I read somewhere that "original" gas caps had "raised" lettering. ???
