Digging in the back of my brain, after moving the clutters, as I recall 69-70 was a transition to the aluminum decklid. Originally, the focus was on the S model, and later the E. 70S was the first homologation install, through 1971. So there may be SOME S and E's from 69 and 70 with steel or Al based on build date, and maybe even parts on the line. 70 had a cool aluminum decklid and rear panel, with tape bumper trim and decal letters similar to the 911R - there are pictures out there and the R-Gruppe dudes often replicate and shave weight.
20 years ago there was a LOT of chatter on this topic on the EarlyS board...but, I think that given the facts that steel or Al seems somewhat random, there are arguments that delivery was based on luck of available parts in inventory, part of a special order, or maybe replacement at some time in the history.
II suspect that you will be hard pressed to find definitive info to back any proof other than talking to some of the old timers.
