69 tilt column research looking for original info

What does the casting area look like where it says "LOCK"? ...Joe

The pad where the word "LOCK" is moulded on should be rectangular shaped, NOT oval.
Never knew the difference until I saw 69 Camaros with original factory installed tilt wheel option.
They all had the same rectangular pad. 
70+ Camaros had oval shaped pads.
