Default 1971 Bezel Grounding Question

Just replaced a "non-retro" aftermarket radio with an Antique Auto Radio. Looks great and the sound is OK with my rear amp and speakers.

My curiosity question is how does the bezel get its

ground? Is it the top screw going into the bottom of the dash, the two post bolts on the bottom of the bezel or something else? I still need to adjust the seat belt button as it stays on all the time, but everything else seems to work correctly.

Just curious

It's grounded via one of the wires (black) on the temp gauge.
