Default 69 Steering Column Flange splines

Attached pix are of what appears to be the original steering column flange off my 69. Curious if it looks as should and whether I should reuse? Particularly interested in the splines which appear to only go around a bit less than halfway. The remaining interior looks to have "remnants" of splines...as if they were worn away some how. Does this look ok to reuse or should I seek a replacement. Should there be more splines than shown?
Thanks,
Keith

Hello. On a late 69 the splines do not go all the way around, so that part of the coupling is correct. If I see it clearly it appears some of the splines look flattened or worn down. They are available at all the vendors, Rock Auto and not expensive, for peace of mind.

I have a really nice restored original for sale in my C3 parts thread for 69-75 steering column parts for sale. Splines are perfect. Can take a picture of the splines if you are interested.
