Default GTO vs Lemans

When I removed the old dried out wood grain from the face of my 66 GTO a/c control panel I found a flat piece of brushed metal underneath. This same panel on a Lemans appears to have a pebble grain texture made into the die cast face. It seems odd that Pontiac would make two different faces for this control unit that is apparently the same for the GTO and the Lemans. Does the flat brushed plate on my GTO unit come off and reveal the Lemans pebble grain surface underneath? Is this flat brushed plate a backing plate for the GTO wood grain?
