Default 1970 Distributor Shielding

I'm trying to locate a source to find a reproduction chrome shield around the distributor for a 1970 LT-1. -- There are several of them available on the market but are not the same as the original, I.E. The original shield has a split joint which is secured together by (2) small screws on the passenger side of the shield whereas the reproductions that I have found look identical but do not the split. Does anyone know where I can find the shield with this split joint?
Thank you.

Try Paragon...their shielding pieces and chrome is excellent.

Thank you.
I have two (2) GM NOS shields (with the GM part # still attached) that I purchased awhile back. I think they may fit a 70. I have a 72 and it uses different shielding. Would you be interested in them? If so I will look at them and get you the part#s.
