Factory Cardboard Gas Tank Cover Pictures

I've noticed that there have been a few threads about these cardboard covers over the years but I can't find one that shows how the originals fit around the tank. I noticed that the repop ones have some tabs that look like the should "tuck in" somewhere. Does anyone have some pics of originals that they could share? I'd imagine it would need to be from a low mileage survivor since they tend to deteriorate and sag over time.

There's a video on YouTube, https://youtu.be/KAykYCYSb8Q, where someone shows how to fold and staple a repro cover together but when he installs it, it doesn't seem to fit too well. I think the guy may have placed it over the tank upside down. Not surprising since he may not have had an original and the reproduction covers come without instructions.
