From what I've run across, the PONTIAC-PONTIAC version showed up during '70 model on Firebirds. Base '71 A-body models, its most likely that some early cars received Pontiac-Motor-Division style. I've parted two very original Pontiac plant A-bodys, one an 01D built Pontiac plant T-37 4 door Sedan, another an April built Pontiac plant 6cyl hardtop T-37. The 6cyl, by the inspection sticker, had been off the road, since '79. Both had PONTIAC-PONTIAC style caps.

Have pulled many original Pontiac-Motor-Division style poverty caps off mid '60's Catalinas & A-bodys in old yards where they had been setting since the 70's. Many had splits on the edges, not perfect, appeared very original.
