Mine did. Comparing PJ's VIN to mine, -8Z123919, we're about 30,000 units apart. Mine's earlier.
My Stepside did have the smaller octogon key, originally. In 405,000 daily driver miles, I've been thru a bunch of keys. Then new locksets in 2005. The rectangles are easier to find, and easier to turn, so I have that style.
My Dash Knobs are all black ''Standard'' type, not the DeLuxe with a steel center that's the only aftermarket replacement. The all-black knobs on my '67 K/10 Suburban are slightly smaller in diameter that my '68s' -- and also kinda mushroom-shaped compared to the flatter T cross section of the '68 knobs. '67 Door Handles and Window Cranks are slimmer. The '68 I have always had the wider '68- later handles.
The Ignition Switch I have now has an ACC position at 11 O'clock but with no ACC terminal in the pigtail, it does nothing.
But without pictures ...
