The new for 1970 Firestone Wide Oval white letters were an option they definitely wanted to promote, so I believe they simply swapped in a set of 14x7's with new white letters from a Firebird. It's funny how people don't seem to notice those 14x7's wheels in the promo photos.
I agree and they look so much better. I cant imagine why they didn't put them on them even in 69
