73-87 headlight bezel - black paint factory or not?

spend most of my time in the 67-72 world, but love my 76 too! Have a simple question regarding original factory painting (or lack thereof) of the headlight bezel. Pictured is one that is painted, and I like the look, however, I've never seen an old/original picture of one rolling off the line WITH that black paint. In fact, every brochure I've seen, not that they are known for their accuracy, has not had the black paint. Hard to tell on my 76 if it ever had black paint there at some point, it "looks" like it never has, but it could have worn off with time completely, who knows. Always wondered if it trickled into existence from those that used to have 69-70's that did have the factory black trim paint on the headlight bezel. Anyone got any early 73-77 pics of something coming out of the factory - or an original owner that knows it was or was not painted? Or was it painted at some point, then discontinued, or vice versa? Pics appreciated. Thanks gents!
