Default Rally wheel cap question

I have two sets of rally wheel caps. I am selling one set to a buyer who is purchasing my 75 rally wheels. Both are in the same condition. I want to keep the better/more rare ones but I don't know which one they are. Which one of these caps came originally on a 68 corvette and which ones would you keep?

The bottom picture is what came on anything after '67, meaning '68 and up. The first picture are from a '67 Vette and various other Chevys of that era that had rallye wheels, and are generally worth much more . I think it depends on your preference as to which ones that you keep/sell, personally I like the earlier ones
Peace,,,Moosie

Ship the '68 up caps.........

They'd be the correct ones anyway & moosie's right about the flat caps being rarer....

Top is '67 only. It's called a flat cap.

Bottom is 68-82. Usually called a hat.

Also called the '67 Disc brake cap, as they were on disc Brake cars and have the words on them
