Default Did 1969 Trans Am cars get chrome grill surrounds?

I realize the inner grilles on a 1969 Trans Am were painted black, and that the Firebird 400 cars got chrome grill surrounds, but did the Trans Am also get the chrome grill surround always? or only with Decor package as noted below? or never?

See them often marketed for "400 and Trans Am" but did not seem to think the Trans Am always got the chrome grille bezel surround.

"Now available are the new 1969 Firebird 400 and Trans Am Grille Chrome Molding Trim Bezels. Correct for cars with the exterior chrome Decor package."

Thanks. Seems like half the T/A's I see sell at auction or on BaT seem to have them installed. Always was curious. Then parts sellers as noted above market the trim as for Trans Am.
