I think I can narrow it down some for you. Coupe and convertible used the same visors, but otherwise there were a number of variations to the visors used between 68 and 82.
Looking at them I can safely say that they are either 69-73 from a car with the standard Comfortweave vinyl interior, or a 74-75 with a standard Comfortweave interior. There is a difference between the 69-73 and 74-75, but it's very minor and you would probably need to see them side by side to tell the difference.
All 68 visors were smooth (Madrid grain?) vinyl. 69-73 and 74-75 where Madrid grain vinyl instead of Comfortweave in cars with the optional leather seats (69) or leather Custom interior (70-73 and 74-75). The Comfortweave vinyl seat covers were dropped for 76 so all 76's came with smooth vinyl visors. The 76 visors look the same as the 74-75 visors from cars with leather interior, but I don't know if they use the same Madrid grain vinyl? 77-82 visors are completely different.

My '72 leather interior car has the comfortweave vinyl visors. This jibes with the NCRS '70-'72 judging guide that says all cars got comfortweave visors whether they had standard interior or deluxe.

You're probably right, but this has been debated in the past. We haven't parted a car in years, but I know we've pulled both Comfortweave and regular vinyl visors out of cars, I just don't remember what years or interior trim now.
