Default 68E Lap Belt Retractor Covers?

I picked up a replacement set of black lap belts (pictured below) for my 68E Corvette (early Nov 67 build date).

The retractors do not have the plastic/rubberized covers that the below two sets of lap belts have (circled in red).

.

When I bought my car it had aftermarket lap belts in it, and the factory lap belts had been cut out and removed. Part of the plastic/rubberized sleeves were still attached and looked like the blue ones above.


Can anyone confirm what type of retractor covers an early 68 Corvette should have (the black ones or blue ones above), and where can I get a set for my car?

Thanks much.

This post has some pictures of the retractor covers I have on my 1968 car. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...seatbelts.html

I don't know if they are being reproduced.
