Def air heat controls - chrome knobs?

I just spotted something unusual at the Lake Compounce, C.T. swap meet today - fella had a 65 like mine, but it has an unusual set of heat/air and def controls with knobs that were chrome. He didn't know where they came from - just "came with the truck". Anyone have a clue of what these came out of? Seems to be a perfect fit. I kinda prefer this to the plain 'ol black plastic knobs.

I think they are Impala/Caprice knobs.

just found a picture of a truck dash with 61-62 impala knobs used for all the dash controls. they match what the factory used on air conditioning controls for our trucks.

Thanks for helping to identify this! They seem to give you a little more to hang on to than the typical black plastic un-labelled knob. Now...if I can find some
