AS Paul stated, there are 3 different hoods. Not just different in crumple slots but also in hood scoop bracing. I have pictures of all three. I will venture to my close storage, perhaps this weekend, to look for date codes to help validate change over. Those without crumple cutouts are EARLY hoods.

Pics:
1) Center section of 68 hood - straight, no dimple (indent) as in 69-70
2) 68 hood with no front scoop brace
3) 68 hood with front coop brace

I think I'm down to 10 or 11 hoods now.
