I was just helping my friend work on a '69 B roadster, a very original 
car which has been in storage for 17 years. The radio was certainly the 
same vintage as the car, but I would have said it was a dealer-installed 
unit. It had a brushed metal bezel with the name "Monte Carlo" in script 
and a crossed-racing-flags logo (like a Corv****). One would almost think 
that in US cars the radio would typically be installed at the dealer. My 
'66 B came with a British Motor Corporation-branded radio with a black 
wrinkle-finish bezel that matched the dashboard, and a chrome trim ring 
(just like the radio blanking plate kit). But this wouldn't match the 
interior of your '69.

In other words, I don't know, but I thought I might offer up some 
potential clues.
Good luck!

Runs great, 
looks particularly bad since some SUV clown backed into it.
If you're near Mountain View, CA,
it's the red one with the silver bootlid.
