Default 79 radiator cap

Morning all

I have a 79 TATA with Olds 403

I am cleaning up some details and trying to keep the car as original as possible.

Seems silly but I am having trouble figuring out what is the correct radiator cap and where I can buy one.

All engine pics I see on internet show a plain metal cap, 15# pressure. Our sponsor and others show a different looking cap for this model year, even say 'not correct'.

The car has a coolant recovery system and I want an OE appearing cap, which I think is plain metal (no decal), which works with the recovery system.

Any help is appreciated.
