When you ordered the reclining passenger seat option in 69 and up it resulted in both seats using the 68 spec side mounted seatback release buttons. Interestingly the hard shell seatback covers are actually not the same as the 68 seatbacks. They use the lower flange design like the 69-72 seatbacks rather than the 68 flange. This makes them specific to 69-72 recliner only, however they both interchange functionally and look the same unless you flop the seatback forward.
I wonder why the seat back button was moved in 69 anyway, I find the 68 button easier to see and use but I guess the 69+ rear center button for the passenger seat is reachable by the driver, chivalry wasn't dead yet!
