There were three versions of the Atlantic Coast belts.
 

 
1968: Swede Hanson and Rip Hawk
 

 
1970: Paul Jones and Nelson Royal
 

 
1972: Homer O'Dell, Brute Bernard and The Missouri Mauler. (note: Brute Bernard always wore his belt upside down.)

Here is Gene and Ole Anderson wearing the 1970 version of the belts.The main difference (that I can see) between these and the set of belts used from 1971-1973, is the size and shape of the Eagle on the main plate.
