Default 1st gen Camaro Tri-power hood?

Was a prototype Tri Power 1st gen Camaro ever built. I have what appears to be a factory built Tri Power hood on my 1969 Camaro. I don’t see any cuts or post production welds on the hood. It doesn’t look hand made or pieced together from a dissected Corvette hood. Any ideas on where this hood may have come from would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Looks like an aftermarket cowl induction hood to me.
I've never heard of a tri-power Camaro,not even the COPO cars like Yenko or Baldwin Motion.

Dana Chevrolet put L71 & L88 engines in new Camaros. What does the top of the hood look like?

The top of the hood looks like a normal cowl induction hood.

The Dana Chevrolet Tri-power Camaros I’ve seen have a different top to the hood. I can’t find anyone that made a tri-power opening on the underside with a normal looking cowl induction top of the hood.

It looks like a poorly modified cowl hood. The hole is way off towards the pass. side. I have a factory ZL2 hood and the round hole is only a 1/4" offset.

Al, it’s not offset or poorly modified. The photo is just not centered.
