G'day Bruce.  (smacks of a Monty Python sketch ;-})

I hope you are right.  I'd love a woodrim and if it's deeper so much the
better.  My shrouds are butchered Berlina items anyway so a slight gap I can
live with.

What car was your replacement steering column from ?

Chris says that the US '69s have the same column as the later cars, the Euro
cars didn't get it 'till much later, so your old and new items are probably
the same style.  I take it you haven't noticed a gap in the shroud or a change
in the wheel-rim to indicator-stalk relationship.

Is your original a deep dish ?   I just placed a straight-edge across my wheel
rim and it's 36mm to the centre of the centre cap.   I refuse to convert that
to inches !!!

  I just installed a steering box and column in my 1969 Spider. The column is
the same length, and the '69 wheel fits. So, why wouldn't the '73 steering
wheel fit on a '67?
