I don’t think I’ve ever seen one labeled later than 1974. Bevil Hogg, one of the founders of TREK in 1976, imported Stella’s. Just surmission on my part but he may have had to due to the fire. Some history here: gnat23.livejournal.com/267071.html
Agree it isn’t SL, I was looking at the wrong chart header. I do have an original brochure my brother gave me lists the SX-75/76 as built with Columbus.
