Default Do I have the wrong dash parts installed?

Hey Guys
Please take a look at this pic.
The car is a 73 with A/C
Am I supposed to have the vents above the gauge cluster instead of the plain cover that says Corvette?

Thanks

Ah HA!
I knew I had a vent from my previous 73.

It needs to be cleaned up and painted.
Question is.... Are the outsides of the louvers supposed to be black or chrome (silver looking plastic)?
Thanks guys!
