Default 68 Corvette Question

Does anyone have a piture of the chrome metal plate that fits in the driver's door jam (attached to the car)? I think its a trim code plate, well any way mine was removed prior to painting and like to know if they used the special rivets to hold that tag on, AL.

It is my understanding that the trim tag was attached with round head pop rivets, not the "rosette" rivets used for the VIN tag.
