Interesting. I've never seen or heard anything about this one, nor 
have I ever noticed it. I think the longer door handle release 
triggers started sometime in 72.

I have an early 72 and a 73 that I should be able to compare. I'm as 
sure as I can be that both are original.

How about the mid year 73 introduction of the side impact barriers in 
the doors?
