Default Brake booster question: What years?

I've got the steel, smaller diameter booster on my '84, whereas the late C4 boosters look to be larger diameter, and plastic. The '84 design looks like it might fit my '69, at less weight than the stock C3 booster. Can someone tell me what additional model years still used the '84 design booster?

Thanks a bunch!

The more I look, the more it appears that the steel booster was a one year ('84) part. To confirm this, can someone with an '85 tell me what their booster looks like? Is it plastic?

Thanks.
