Looking for input from the Forum if the Power Cushion was an original spare tire or just an aftermarket?

I have an original spare in my dart and I think it is a power cushion. It looks brand new, doubt it ever went on the car.

1967 Coronet I just got. Still has its original spare tire
7.75-14 GoodYear Power Cushion whitewall

Surprisingly enough, its still in decent shape and not hard as a rock. with no dry rot or stress cracks I can find

6.95-14 is small for a Chrysler grin

what's the DOT code on the tire? 6.95-14 white wall was an OPTIONAL tire on '66-'67 A-bodies & I believe the "3T" tires date to that vintage
