ummmm... here is a GM Photographic black and white Press Release photo of the early 69 Z28 ...
note the color of the front grille . . .
also note the narrow, early rear spoiler and lack of the ZL2 cowl induction hood. This same picture was airbrushed later to include the cowl hood . . . these "before and after" pictures were used in the 69 Camaro sales brochure too, and the "changes" were included in the many Revisions of the brochure:
