1. Did the 1970 & early 1971 TA's have the bird emblem on the dash engine turned bezel?
Yes.

I believe the trays are the same. The hold down bolt/bracket changed post-'70, though.

4a. Did They sell me one for a non-AC car? I don't think my old shroud was ever swapped.
I know there's been some discussion about this - I don't think any of them came that way from the factory. More likely released as a service part for cars that ran hot -- mostly A/C equipped cars, I suspect. There'd be no difference between an A/C and non-A/C version of that part, though.

No Decal on a T/A.
