Default Oddity

Saw this on our local marketplace website today. A 1966 dash bezel. I sent the seller a note asking if these two pictures are from the same piece. He replied that they are pictures of the same bezel but I don't believe so. If you look at the closeup, the turn signal indicators appear to be different.

There's no picture from behind, but I'd like to see what it looks like. I sent the seller a note asking for a picture of the back of the bezel.
I’m just now having my first cup of coffee and waking up, but I see .....
Two different dash bezels - first is a 66, second is a 67.

Ya agreed. I tried to edit the post after he got back to me. He is adamant that they are the same bezel, but I'm not going to get into it with some stranger on the last day of the year.

Question

Just looking at the opening for the steering column shows Tan paint on the first bezel (66) and some sort of gray on the second (67)
so clearly not the same in both images. Not to mention the switches don't match either

Look at the very top. The 67s don't wrap back around like the 66 does.

One has wiper switch but not the other. One has ignition switch. The other does not.
