Default 69 Wood grain steering wheel ???

I am wondering what is the correct material and color for a 69 Wood grained steering wheel.

Were they teak, walnut, or mahogany???

Plastic with wood grain or actual wood. Any pic's would help.
I purchhased a wheel from Ecklers and while nice dont want it to appear baltantly obvious that it's a ROC repro

Thanks

and it doesnt belong on a 1969 / for 69 it should be black not woodgrain........68 had woodgrain & a bit larger.......any others your looking at are AFTERMARKET styles .......
