I dont know how correct those 'NOS' caps are, but here is what a true NOS Chrysler in the box cap for your car looks like. Actually in this case it's an NOS 'on' the box cap  Hope this helps.

1971 had two caps, the early (flat) one is in the photo above. The late (after Dec '71) cap hangs over the filler tube about 1 1/4" it's much thicker when you lay them flat. The caps do not interchange, I bought one from the auto parts store for $6 about a year ago.
Sorry, it should read after Dec '70. The filler neck is different because the deep cap would just spin, & not catch hold of the nubs. The car is a November built '71 Satellite equipped with N95.
