Default Seat Belt Identification

I have these seat belts in the parts pile from a disassembled 68 Firebird with teal deluxe interior. Can someone help confirm these are correct or if not what else they may be from? I suspect they are not correct because the date code is 38A69 (assuming that means 1969?).

That would be the 38th week of 1969.

The best seat belt information I have seen is by the CRG (Camaro Research Group) at http://www.camaros.org/seatbelt.shtml

Does anyone know if that retractor looks like it is from a 69 Firebird w deluxe interior? I can't seem to confirm that with interweb pictures. I'm starting to think it's an A-body style, not F

Those are early 1970 model year A, B, G deluxe front buckles. The 69 Firebird deluxe belts didn't use the smaller front outer lap buckles because there was no room for the self ratcheting system.
