To recap my observations;
I believe Superbees and R/T's were all
supposed to have the painted cap. I'm also quite sure there were some that didn't get them for whatever reason.
Every police and taxi I've seen were chrome (no cap)....and they probably are mostly Deluxe models. A high percentage of 4drs and station wagons also seem to have the chrome. I've seen 440's and 500's both ways though going completely off memory, I'd say most 500's I've seen have had the cap.
If I had to make a call right this second I'd say;
Painted cap:
- Bee's
- R/T's
- 500's
No cap (chrome):
- Deluxe
- 440 4drs and wagons
440 2drs seem to have come both ways.

The fact that we mostly concentrate on the high performance models makes info/data on the more sedate cars harder to find.
...and I'm sure there are a healthy dose of exceptions...they are Mopars, after all!
