What are the correct looking grab handles for a 67 Delux bus dash and or walk thru bulk head?

Should my delux have black, white or chrome collars at the ends of its handles?

Are you talking grab handles like on the dash, or grab handle on the middle seat?

66/67 have white ends from what I have seen.

From a search on 67 deluxe dash in the Gallery

Platinum mesh interior = white end piece.
Different interior = different cap- my Aero papyrus has black, the grab handles being in steel (blue).

Black ends were 62-64.
'White' ends were 65-67. The 'white' ends are made of a more brittle plastic than the black ends. Since they are prone to crack and break, sometime they get replaced with black ones.

from http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/manuals/aug66bus.php

This picture from a 65 owners manual has a 62 or early 63 bus in it. The interior is the basalt or como green pattern, and the headlight bucket is 12/63 and earlier.
The same pic is in earlier manuals, but this one has the foot heat vent added.
