In '72 they transitioned to the side swivel and on these were serial numbered lower handguards believe it or not. I don't believe any '72 side swivel kits came in amongst the recent imports and all were void of numbered handguards as far as I have noticed. I was looking for one and wanted one very much like this one. So there's evidence that production criteria at times varied for short periods for some reason or another as an example of the lhg drain hole around '73 which was omitted for a short period. I love this rifle. Thanks for the detailed photos!
