There were 3 types of anchor bolt covers used in 1969 Camaros. The first was the type your friend has, a tab for the bolt to pass thru. This was used from all of 1968 and up to Feb 69.........The second type is the style you have on your car, a metal insert with 3 clips to snap onto the anchor.   This was used from January 1969 till June 1969.......The third type has a tab for the bolt to pass thru but sliced on the bottom and has a metal snap button to keep it closed. An improvement over the first design.
   Having said all that all three styles had overlapping start and stop time frames. These vinyl boots were used by all 5 GM seat belt suppliers. Hamill, Irving, General safety, Robbins, and Bay Trim. These time frames are not set in stone because of many variables.
  camaronut. the ones you have (type 2) would be the correct ones for your car (6A). Hope this helps. Clete

   model 1952 was for shoulder belts for GM A bodies and F bodies. both the console side (buckle) and the roof section ( the D-ring) used the same model number (1952)  Both Chevelles and Camaros used the D-ring (which is sometimes called the clip)
on the roof section. This roof section anchor is only for the roof and has 2 bolts anchoring it ( 5/16-18 x 7/8 long hex bolts).
 None of the sections in your photo are roof sections with this style anchor. They all have H-11 floor anchors. Your photo is an incomplete set.

  Hamill model number 1902 is for a 1969 Chevelle front center position and a 69 chevelle wagon 3rd seat position.
  Model 1952 was shoulder belts and was used on both Camaro and Chevelle, although the lengths are slightly different.
  Model 1914 was used on Camaro early rear laps and early Chevelle Fronts.
  No small (RCF67) buckles were used on 69 camaros, but were used on Chevelles. Chevelle Blue webbing color is slightly
  darker than Camaro webbing, as it appears in your photo. Based on that information I would say you have a set of belts
  from an early 69 Chevelle.
