The Pentastar-shaped head was not introduced until 1970 -- to fit the column-mounted lock cyl.

Correct,
69 uses the rectangle head, same at 68 and earlier, but Mopar changed vendors for 69 (Yale I believe) and the long milled slot is in a different location than previous and all the teeth are different heights so the lock pins do not interchange.

I have original keys with "A", "B", "I", & "Y" stamped on them, I do not know who the manufacturer or which ones were factory supplied with each year.  B = Briggs & Stratton, I = Ilco, Y = Yale

Got a 67 BCuda with a pentagon head, round trunk, been that way for years. Must have been something done way back in the day.
-Daty
same for my dads 67 barracuda, originally an arizona car, he got it in the mid 80s, we always assumed they were original.
my 62 valiant (canadian model, not a plymouth) came to me with pentastar head with a B under the star and 770U in the top part for the doors, and a pentastar with a B for the ignition, and a round one with marks worn off for the trunk.
it also has a set of pentastar knock offs with curtis on the star. the door keys hve a different set of grooves than the ignition
the car was delivered in april of 1962, so i guess the keys arent original, if wikis sept 1962 adoption of the pentastar logo is right

Here is pic of the Ilco catalog. 1966 was a separate year for the trunk key. The newer key will work though as it has a wider groove.
Ign is 1764P & Trunk is 1766S
1959 -1964 were a side bar lock & there were grooves on only one side of the blank.
Go to a locksmith, don't screw around with the hardware store or the big box store.
