Neat! They were serious about the sporty image back then. Looks pretty cool, plus from a manufacturing point of view - the same console with just a small plate difference makes sense.
Console for both Automatic and Manual are the same. The difference is only in the shifter pattern plate.
Same console as the 1963 Chevrolet Impala SS.
The same thing happened in '64, but with a redesigned console.

Was there no reverse lockout in those years? One can only imagine way back, someones young lady scootching over, getting friendly and BAM ... oops sorry...did I kick the lever?

The reverse lockout was there on a 63 vette, not sure about full size. Later years definitely had it in full size. No lockouts after the 60s in manuals?
What year did the auto floor shift go to the t handle instead of the ball like 63? 64 or 65?

1964 for the T-handle automatic shifter. I believe that '64 was also the year they started using the reverse lockout trigger on the 4-speed manual shifter (made by Inlands).
For 1968 GM switched to the crappy Muncie shifter that was mounted on the crossmember to isolate vibration but it also killed any precision. The lockout trigger was eliminated & replaced by a spring in the mechanism, plus the handle went from tubular hollow to flat blade. For '68 the non-console shift balls switched from white to black
