I Agree with Alan.... Only thing I see thats not 72-74 is the bumper guards...  Regardless welcome to the site..

I'm guessing it's registered as a 71?  Have you compared the number stamped into the cowl to the number on your title?

Bumper guards would be a correct option for a 72.

I don't recall ever seeing early style guards on a 72 so I just went to Hamtramck Historical & checked dealership literature & you are correct... So another part that doesn't point to the car being a 71

A lot of people who don't realize the sixth number in the VIN is also the model year of the car. They look at the door VIN decal and see something like Nov. 71 and figure the car is a 1971  :dunno:  I would wonder what the title says...

Yeah...i struggled with identifying it too but at the end of the day, it's a 71' with a lot of non 71' details.

Welcome from NCal. It is a 72 front and back. Not sure how it came to be a 71.

There is a lot of speculation on your car...... you can usually tell if you look at the stampings on the cowl and rad support which I assume you have already done. It's possible that all the parts were pulled off of a 72 to bring a 71 back to life!?!
