Default ID a Wheel cover?

While cleaning my garage, I came across a 14" wheel cover that bears a very strong resemblance to the PO1 / PO2 covers.

It has the Chevy crossed flags in the center, just not as much rise to the center hub part around the flags.

Any one know what car(s) it went on? (I wanna get rid of it on Fleabay.)

difficult to say without a photo, but probably the hubcap that came on Impalas of the period . .

Looks and weighs just like a PO1 or PO2 wheel cover, only 14" diamater.

This: Seems to be Chevelle only...

I think you'll find the Camaro had 15" wheels. I show the 14's on Chevelle and Nova. (Correct me if I'm wrong here)

Clammy,
If you notice also, the outer rim is distinctly different than the PO1/2 for the Corvette. I found this out first hand after buying a set off the internet recently. I was told they were 15"...they were, if you measure from the front, not the back where they mount. When they arrived I noticed not only were they obviously smaller, they had that non corvette outer rim. Anyhow, they went back to the seller...
I am fairly certain these are Camaro. You can see the distinct outer rim in that Camaro promo ad posted.
Another note, if I am correct about yours, the center hub does stick out, but not as much as the Corvette but more than the flat Impala ones right??

There is a guy in Chicago (CL) selling a mint set of these now for a very reasonable price. We spoke on the phone and through our conversation we realized these are the 14" ers....

OK - I stand corrected - they are for Camaro also.
But they also show up on Chevelle and Nova options for 70-71.
