The "Buick sticker" reference by those in the Pontiac community is the 400-4 sticker on top. While it has a Pontiac crest, it is "made up" by the aftermarket. This sticker never existed and was never placed on the air cleaner lids by assembly at Pontiac in that era. A version like this was installed by Buick in that era - hence the "Buick sticker" reference.

As far as the side release goes, it definitely is 68 style - was changed in 69. I just don't know the answer regarding the reclining option - the folks over at the Performance Years forum would know.
