For at least the 68's, black colored base and a square hole are generally associated with the jacks installed on Fremont cars. But you may be on to something regarding different years since all the bases you show have a square opening. Don't have a good answer for that unfortunately.
Scott please check your PMs. Been wanting to buy one of your jacks.

Sold an original jack asm a few years back out of a '69 Camaro, its original jack base was gray. the original jack base from my mid '71 Fremont build is blue, nearly a Ford blue.

My cars have the base color the same as the bumper attachment piece in your 1st picture (second from left).

Take a look at the trunk from one of the original 1968 GTO of my good friends. Notice all original jack parts and their colors.

I still need to find a 68 rear bumper adapter. There hasn’t been one on eBay in quite a while.

Other than the bumper adapter this does not look like any 68 jack setups I have seen. I do get tired of seeing these pitted up spray bombed jacks on ebay,
Correct or not. Some are priced reasonable, this one is priced to the moon. Thoughts for discussions sake? https://www.ebay.com/itm/202950150257?ul_noapp=true

I've talked to this vendor in the past and generally his prices are very reasonable. This must be some extraordinary jack but not the highest price I've seen for a 68 GTO. But it does look like the majority of the late 60s Pontiac jacks I've seen on Ebay. Those from the Fremont factory are from a different manufacturer and are different.
I finally found one for my Fremont built 68 from Scott. Needs some work but not too bad. Very good price.

Interesting. The one I restored for my 68 looks exactly like the one on eBay, I know it wasn't from a GTO because of the lug wrench being too big, & was removed from a car & put in storage many years ago by the previous owner. it was in such incredible shape I decided to use it. I am OK with it, I just need to find a bumper adapter at some point.

Took a second look at the wrench and you're right. It does seem a little long.

Scott and I have noticed some minor differences in the Fremont jacks besides the color. At first glance the 68 and 69 jacking mechanisms look identical but are different at the base of the mechanism.
I know my original is hiding somewhere in my uncle's barn. He'll probably find it when he has to downsize and move.

Not to say that isn't a mixed and match setup. could be a correct jack & a random lug wrench?
