NPD is out but it is a referenced 69 part number and 69 only? I don't know why 70 would be different so now I'll dig out my 70 top frame and see if they are different than the ones on my 69 top frame on my Shelby. https://www.npdlink.com/product/convetible-top-header-bow-alignment-pin/169877?backurl=search%2Fproducts%3Fsearch_terms%3Dalignment%252Bpin%252Bconvertible%252Btop%26top_parent%3D200001%26year%3D1969&year=1969

You will most like have to use a substitute as a place holder until you find a more correct pin. at least the substitute is inexpensive.

Jack, at Dead Nuts On, was making the version in the OP's picture.
Since he moved to the East Coast, he lost his machinist. I gave him a lead, and that lead suggested another. Hopefully, Jack has someone soon to manufacture them.

Like I say I'm still learning new things all the time. I didn't know the pins would be different between the 2 years.

70 is not as long as 67 c70z pins so 67 wont work on 70.
