Default Part Question

Ran into this in a box of random parts and have no idea where it goes or what year it is for. Any ideas?

1975 & 1976 nose emblem or gas door
Not the same emblem in both places but I'm not sure of diameter differences or flat vs curved, but if the studs on the back are long: nose, short: gas door.

It's (what's left of) either a 75-76 nose or gas door emblem. If it's a nose emblem it will have a slight "V" shape to the underside and long studs for speed nuts, if it's a gas door emblem it will be flat on the back and have two short 1/4-20 threaded studs.

Looks like 67:72 types 4 minutes faster than me.
