Looking for a picture of the early 67 trunk lock hole

Getting ready to order a lock set for my 67 and have found lots of stuff doing a search for the trunk lock fitting 90% off but no pics. The trunk lock I took out was turned 90% and a used lock I have from a later Camaro is also 90% off so I'm assuming I have the early 67 tail panel. Heartbeat City claims to have the correct lock but before I order it I would like to see a pic or a good drawing of the hole showing the location of the cutouts. The car has fresh paint and I really don't want to start filing out the hole if I can order the correct lock. The car also came with all mismatched locks so I'm planning to buy a complete lock set so I don't have to carry 4 different keys. Thanks.

Hey Mark, Glad to see you around again! How early is your car? Mine is December. Don't know it that qualifies. -Tom
Good to see you too Tom. My car has had the tail panel replaced at some time in the past but I have no clue if it was done with a NOS panel, good used part, etc. All I know is that I have 3 used trunk locks from later Chevrolet cars and they all end up with the key slot facing sideways. I believe the only original body part on the whole car is the roof..:confused: In doing a search I have seen a reference to some pictures in older NPD catalogs showing the 2 different tail panels but looking on their website I've found nothing.
