You got me curious so I looked at my repair receipts. The steering wheel was replaced by my local Pontiac Dealer Service on 7/9/69. I looked up the recall notice and it was issued 4/14/69 so mine was likely one of the early replacements. Back then, I did not get a recall notice. It was the service manager who initiated the replacement when I brought the car in for some warranty work.
Interesting trivia; GM blames the drivers for putting "their full weight on the wheel when getting out of the vehicle" as the cause of the cracks in the recall notice.
One factory part that I could never match is the original Rayon Radial white wall tires it came with. Coker does not repro those.
