What car? Sun visors that are all white or all black

I have two extra sets of sun visors that have been in my parts stash for many years and I've forgotten what they came from.  Can anyone help me identify what model they come from?  One set is all black on both sides.  The other is all white on both sides.  I suspect that the white ones are NK, but I'm not sure about the black ones.  Thanks for your help!

It is possible that the all black ones were simply dyed by a previous owner. I did that on my last car (used SEM vinyl dye) and was very happy with the results…looked "original", even though I rushed the job. YMMV.

Mine are the same as the two fellows above...when the visors are in the "stowed" position they are white, and when they are "deployed", you see the black side.  My 02 has a black interior, not sure if that matters.  It's a '72.

I'm having hazy recollections, but white-and-white might have been used on some early '02's, maybe around '68.  Mike S. will know.

Thanks for all the responses!  As many of you pointed out, most 02 sun visors were black and white.  It appears that the all white visors were used on NKs as well as early ('67-'68) 02s.

Paul - You may be correct that the black ones were dyed.  I considered that possibility but they looked "factory" so I assumed they came all black.  Considering that the mounting brackets are also black, they may have been dyed.

2002 visors are white on both sides unless I wasn't paying attention somewhere along the way.

 

Jim - Maybe you need another 2002 to refresh your memory! :)
