Answer to Q2
The blue in '69 was LeMans Blue. Here is a link that I like for Vette facts and pics:

69 Valve covers were stamped steel on base engine Vettes and they were cast aluminum for L-46 350/350 engines. The same aluminum covers were also used on Z/28's that year. People like to add the aluminum covers to just about everything else ever since but they were only used originaly on optional SHP Vettes and Z/28's.
