Forgot they did, but that was only on the '70 + '71 models.I haven't been able to confirm it, but the T0655 type code might be a patio. I do see a couple traces of white paint in the first picture. I do agree it is a 1969 model.
It should be steady. Might be a loose connection69 not 70? Also one small thing should the amp gauge kinda bounce around or be steady at idle to mid speed
