Default 1968 or later sunvisor difference

Is there a difference on 1968 and later sunvisors? I just picked up a set of visors and I'm not sure what year they are for. Thanks for any help.

I want to say that 68's are more "square" than 69 to ? . Also, I "think" that 68's are basket weave, while later are comfort weave.

I'll have to dig up my NCRS JG. Don't have it handy and honestly can't remember the details. Chuck

'68's are more of a "smooth" vinyl as compared to the '69 & up "Comfort Weave" style. They look like the leather ones from mid-'70 and up. They are also flatter & thinner.

They mount on chrome stand-offs on both sides. No swivel, just up and down. The stand-offs are pretty skinny, like 1/8". I would imagine that this design changed in 76 with the death of the Vert...if not before.
