Default 70 Chevelle sport steering wheel

Does anyone have any info on any 70 Chevelle having a 16 inch sport wheel with the thumb groove as seen on the Buick Grand Sports installed at GM? I went and looked at a 70 L89 car today and it had this wheel on it. Car was built 1st week of September.

I have only seen 16" Buick sport wheels on the later Buicks. I have never seen one on a Chevelle.

Did it have a small recess running around the inner edge, facing the driver?
Fuzzy picture, but this one has the recess I mentioned.

It's my understanding that this is THE correct wheel for the `70 with NK1 option. The one that everyone puts on to replace their cracked one is usually designed for the Corvette.

Got any pics of the wheel on the one you went to see. Hey how about some info about it's L89 status!!!
