70-72 kick panel difference

There is a distinct difference in the pattern of the louvers between these two kick panels. (disregard that one appears to have been part of a dash fire). I don't know what year the black one is off of, and I believe the saddle one is 72. Is there a difference between years? Or a difference between AC and non-ac? Interested in your input.
Thanks

That's ok, my 72 passenger side doesn't look like either of those....
3694113 and 3694114 are the part numbers molded into the rear of the panel

Driver side

(ignore the carpet/trim)

Seems like what I can see of your left one matches the tan one.

Yeah I think so, at first I just had the picture of the passenger and didn't know about the drivers so I went and took that one.

Thanks for the feedback. The tan one came off an AC car as best as I can tell. At least the matching right one is an AC panel.

Here are two photos of a pair of 72 non-ac kick panels.
