what year, or era, is my vintage Les Paul Custom truss rod cover?

Greetings -

I have two old LPC truss rod covers. One was pulled from a 1978 LPC, so I know how old it is. The other one....I don't remember when / how I got it.

It's clearly vintage, but as to year? I don't know.

The '78 has a creme back, the unknown has a black back. Similar 'aged' yellowing on the 'white' laminate.

Thoughts as to the age of the 'unknown' one?

thanks much

Richard
