I hate saying "+1", but Bobs comments are spot on.  Thats exactly what I would say. 
Bottom line is if you put anything on your car that is not typical better have documentation to prove thats how it was originally.  Otherwise if/when you ever get the car judged will be an issue as we judge to the norm and not the exceptions.....unless documented.

The NAPA store here will cad plate rebuilt calipers. I have to specify not plating them for me. They look nice that way but originals are not plated.

I have seen quite a few of the version pictured on the right but never any I an say came off original cars. I used to be able to go to parts store and have them bring in 20-30 rebuilts. I would sort through them and put aside the ones like on the right. I always assumed they were from later 70's

Tim...yes, thats what I also assumed but looking at these two sets I have from these two cars they are both date stamped January 1969 which matches perfectly the build dates of the cars.  So I have to think these are original assembly line units.  And both stamped KH so assume they are made by Kelsey Hayes.
