P01 were ‘68 only and had fins that come to a square end where they meet the center. P02 had pointy ends on the fins where they meet the center.
You have passenger car wheel covers with the ‘69+ pointy ends. If they are 15”, the centers can be changed to Corvette style. They also made 14” versions so double check what you have.

I think you have the P01 and P02 reversed. P01 come to a point about an 1/8" from the center cap and the P02 end there squared off. Also on P01 caps the center cap is smaller then the hub and the center cap P02 is larger then the center hub of the main body of the cap. 14 inch caps the raised lip is in the center of the outer ring of the cap. I did extensive research on the differences of these when we did an update to 68-69 and 70-72 NCRS judging guides.
