Here are some pictures of rough but original RT bezel. There isn't a distinct line to use like the rear trim and hood has.

The pictures you posted are of a 70 Bezel, 71 has dual lines in the front between the two headlight buckets.  Here are my restored ones.

The bezel is a 71. I have the rest of the moldings and the grille somewhere. Here is another picture of the bezel and the rear trim.

Looks just like the originals to my '71 R/T. Alot of people don't get the paint line on the upper lip of the molding correct. '71's have alot more black than stainless showing.

Yes, the R/T's were painted different than the standard, not just the color. Here's the standard paint.

Yup, sorry.  I didn't see the lines under the dirt.  Looked like a 70 on my old computer screen

Very cool.
