On 69-71 bezels, there's a push button in the upper left corner, to turn off the seat belt light. On 72-76 bezels, the push button was eliminated, and there's just a lens in it's place. The warning light had a timer to turn it off.

Hi cdj,
gbv's description is right on!
But, here's the 'rub'….. the reproduction that's available is of the 72 bezel…. with the provision for a long lens, not a provision for the short lens and button.
To get around this who ever makes the bezels glues an extra piece into the 72 bezel to make it suitable for 69-71 cars too.
You can see the extra piece. Of course this doesn't matter to most owner's but it does to a few….this has made the unbroken 69-71 bezels quite valuable.
Regards,
Alan
The 69-71 left side configuration.
