Does have the heavy rear rack that appears to be able to carry a load!
While I don't know the exact year, it's from the earlier half of your timeframe, circa 1973. Check the the backs of the derailleurs for date codes (two letters). There should also be date date codes (4x-x) on the back of the crank arms.
