Default Door ajar switch on Oct 69 built L46

Apologies as I f'ed up the title....and can't see a way to fix it. I am asking about HOOD ajar switch not door. Is/was there one? Find no evidence on my car. Can't find in AIM. Old Paragon catalog shows one but I cannot determine location on car. If there should be one....where TF would it be?
Thanks in advance for any intel.

I found this. Photo in post #2 states car is a 1969. Hood alarm switch wiring
Pretty much the same location as my 72. Is it possible a previous owner removed it and glassed over the holes?

Hood ajar/alarm switch would only have come on a 69 if it was ordered with the factory alarm.
