Dear Kevin.
Strange nobody gave you an answer. I´m researching the same thing on my car right now. My personal pictures are not available at the moment, so I use some from earlier discussions. Keep in mind I´m a neewbee, so I might be wrong, but don´t think so.

Look at the pictures and see if the wiper arm leads to the hole in your decklid. Also take a look at places in the lid where the wiper motor has been attached, should be clear signs here (holes for the bolts that connected the motor)

At last take a look below your instruments. The picture shows the same switch I have on my 70, don´t know it it is similar on a SWB.

BUT: On my car the wiper is not mentioned by the factory. Instead it has A/C with all the signs of a wiper beeing installed earlier. I think mine was original, but working to find out if it could be a later kit install. A CoA should tell it it was factory installed on yours.

Hope this helps

Replacement deck lids from past paint jobs could fool you.

The early decklid has the last 3 digits of your chassis number stamped
in the rib behind the grill. That will reveal whether your decklid is
original or not.
