sometimes early cars got things that later build cars didnt and vice versa. Our 70 chally has a black steering column and carpeting while the rest of the interior is red. Typical of early build cars.

Either way there is factory proof if it would or wouldn't have a shroud by means of the service manual. Or they could just talk to the prior owner of the car and see what it had on it at the time the prior / current owner had it.
