Somewhere I have an original bulb from my 64 Dodge GE 64 date code bulb. Hamtramck built.

If my memory serves me correct GE was standard issue till around 70, then Westinghouse was used on some models followed by some tung sol. I’m not saying I’m 100% sure of the date for tung sol. I read in my b body reference book. Some models from different plants did end up with different flavors but I really feel GE would be a rock solid/ safe bet.
@Slantsixdan may know.

GE would be more than likely,as tung- sol was backup stock in case the GE were used up n waiting for stock on the production line

The narrow flutes didn't come along til around 1974, when improved versions of the type 4000 (37.5/60w high/low) sealed beam replaced the first-generation 4000, which in turn replaced the previous 4002 (37.5/50w high/low) unit, so your narrow-flute lamps are later replacements.
