I know this is an old thread, but I have a bike very simiar to yours. It is blue with no decals exceopt for Made in Japan at basse of seat tube and another at the top of the seat tube double butted chrome molybdanum. the bike is fully chromed and has the same date stamp on the cranks. I think mine has the original seat. it is plastic with a quilted leather cover. Seamless Super Deluxe YFC. The serial number on my bike is K7B03092. Im guessing that the E in your serial nimber is really a B which woould correspond to a manufacture date of 1972. My bike has Dura Ace centerpulls which are original.
