71 used a faux leatherette looking insert

But like gto4ever said , it can work in any 68-72 if it needs to be used.
Same overall shape and size.

interesting. I had a virgin 70 lemans sport off the original owner that was parked in 75 and it didn't have a button on it so I always assumed it didn't start til 71 (it was the only 70 I ever had that was a known original) maybe an early late thing as to when they went to the buttons? no idea on build date, that car was had and gone 30 years ago. A side note, that same car also had the rally ratchet shifter that had a piece of factory woodgrain covering the 1-2-3 on the shift plate so they "detuned" the shifter so you didn't know you had it as punishment for buying a Lemans sport instead of a GTO! it still functioned, just hid the shift pattern indications -- the repops are missing the numbers so that tidbit of originality is getting buried as time marches on as well.
