ok perhaps I jumped the gun on the one above (though I'm still scratching my head on duel stamps, but I'm guessing this one is going to be seen in the up and coming 1971 catalog (which I think is cooler since 71 is the year of my birth). Dyno was an option in 72, so this one most likely didn't come with it (probably going to go for it eventually anyway).

Some of the difference in options from the Sports vs. the SuperBe you've got listed on Headbadge.com chats might be upgrades. For example, the shifter on mine is all metal, with no windows (on the sports charts as the 1963-1966 stock part), after all full metal case without extra openings would be more durable and perhaps more "upscale" than the plastic ones. Though this is just a thought. I haven't studied this topic as long as most of you have. Though I do find it intriguing.
