Default Rare sway bar? I have questions

I have a 1" front sway bar for a 1st-gen Camaro or Firebird. I was noticing it looks like the original color was a light turquoise. I have a set of '67 Bill Thomas traction bars in original paint that are also a light turquoise so I wondered if it might be a Bill Thomas front sway bar. The shape of the bar in the Bill Thomas catalog is pretty much the same as mine however it does not take a dip down in the middle like most every other Camaro sway bar I've seen. The ends are round like a GM bar but not exactly the same. Close but not quite. Is it possible that this is an original Pontiac sway bar for a '69 Trans-Am? They came stock with a 1" sway bar from my understanding and I was told the part number for that Firebird bar was 3958466. Anybody have any ideas? Maybe the design of the Bill Thomas bar changed over time?
