I have a fairly early 69 #28754. There is no way to know for sure about how
it came off the line originally, but prior to my having the car repainted
last month, there was no indication that these areas were changed. The back
valance (where the license plate goes) is Black and the area around the
windshield on the frame is body color (Jasmine Yellow). Not really sure
what you mean by "fender welting" but if you can describe it more detail,
I'll tell you if I have it.

I hate to be a pain, but the above is not really true.
The early 1969 cars had valances painted in body color, as well as
painted windscreen frames. You can also tell an early car by the fact
that there was fender welting (like the MGB has on the front fenders) on
the rear fenders, that runs from the back of the cockpit to the trunk
area.
