Default Hiw can I tell if this is original?

Hey guys, how can I tell if this is original? Found it in my buddies garage.. He said it was off a Q code Cobra Jet. Someone gave it to him. If more pics are needed I can take them.

Pretty sure not from a cobra jet of 69-70. Should be blue I think. Plus other things that are missing. Should have the indentation and damper door facing us. Also, the "blowby" should be connected to a tube that stick out of air cleaner in 69. 1970 is little more like it but it still should be blue and missing indentation. Also, I pretty sure the tops are supposed to be chrome and have a "spoke" pattern on it.

Look here there are the different styles. Not seeing the indentation. Look on cleaner and see if you can find a part number or something. Dont worry about the diffeneces in the sticker. Rumor is that there were some that said cobra and some that said cobra jet. From current picture though it does not look correct. But this is just what this site says who know.
