Default 1970 emissions/tune up label

Yesterday I went down a rabbit trail;
I came across an NOS 1970 L65 (400-2bbl) emission label online.

It caused me to look at the one I bought for my car, and what's left of my car's original that I carefully removed in 1995 or 1996 (there's not a whole lot left of it, and most of the ink is gone).

My original label is a white decal that had black printing on it.
Unless I am mistaken the reproductions have always been black vinyl(?) with white printing.

I still have my repop label in the envelope I received it in from year one - want a chuckle?
The envelope was sealed (presumably because that was when they fulfilled my order) on either March 4th, or April 3rd 1996 - talk about delayed gratification (because I never applied that "finishing touch").

Have these labels changed since the mid-1990's?
or are they still manufactured the same way, at the same company?
The back of this label (faintly) reads Jim Osborne.

How often do NOS labels show up?
