Looks thinner to me. Metal badge didn't disappear from catalog until after '76 altho as before unusual 3 digit number might mean it was a special build for badging by another shop. Looks like repainted at sometime as the factory would not have placed a seat tube decal on head tube.

So by features I would guess somewhere around '73. Wonder about seat stay measurement?

Hope this helps.
