Default 1969 Front Splash Shield? (Early vs Late)

My 69 came with the white plastic style of splash shields in the front.
I see these were installed on the early 69 cars. I also see that a few companies make a steel version of this shield but they say it is for the late 69 cars. Does anyone know if the steel ones can be used in place of the plastic ones or are they different from each other?
Thanks.

As far as I know, they use the same mounting points.
