Default headlight bezel question

Restoring a 69 coupe. Pulled the headlight bezels and noticed 1 aftermarket plastic w/o washer nozzles and 1 metal with nozzles (assuming its original). The question I have is did all 69's come with the washer nozzles? or was it an option? thanks for any feedback.

According to Rick Bizzoco's 1969 Stingray Guidebook, the headlamp washers were a unique 1968 option and standard equipment in 1969. This silly idea was evidently abandoned in 1970.

They were standard in 1970 also.
You can find metal bezels but usually very expensive. Most vendors sell the headlamp washers.
Because they were made of pot metal, they often broke when dropped.
