Default 69 Z28 open element air cleaner opinion needed.

I'm looking for opinions on this open element air cleaner base I bought. I got it cheap but have no clue if it is a reproduction or OEM. Pic probably isn't that good and I don't have it in my hands yet to get a better one but I thought I would ask here. Can you guys tell anything from these pics? I don't have anyway to compare. Anybody have pics to share? I'm thinking it is a reproduction.

Post a picture of the underside of the air cleaner lid.

Per NCRS judges, original lids have a rolled steel look where the hole was punched for the stud. I learned this from a judge when I showed my car at a National Convention.
