Default 1972 Hazard/Flasher Button

I have a 1972 Coupe with tilt/tele steering. My build date is Oct.71.
My hazard button on the column is a black push button type with the collar that reads "hazard"
I found a chrome "flasher" **** in the ashtray. I found a matching part on a sponsoring vendors website, listing it as a 68-72. My production number falls within their described application.
Does anyone know if this is correct? Any photos of the chrome **** on the column?
I have a feeling what I found is my original button/****,

Thanks for the photos. I believe the change over was early in the production run. I think I have the original with the chrome one, however, I am missing the stud.
As far as the button that is installed on my car, it can only mean . . .

Fastimes. My Dec 1971 build has a black plastic flasher with hazard on the rim and a philips screw holding in place. According to my references this is correct for a 1972 model. The chrome one in your pic is for 1968 to 1971.. Your car is early could one have been laying around and it was grabbed and installed? Who knows!!!!!?????? Ike

Corvette Central states the chrome one was used for model year 1972 up to production number 06421.
My build date is October 25, 1971 and my number is lower than the one given, so I think I should have the chrome hazard ****.

GM only used that “long” chrome flasher **** until around Feb of 67. Then they went to a short version of the chrome ****

SassC3, would you be willing to post a photo of the chrome hazard **** if you have a chance? Our build dates are only 6 days apart.

Thanks!
