Kurt K. has my 1975 catalogue in hand at the moment, so perhaps he can check for what the decal might have looked like that year.

It does have the registered trade mark on it though which, means it is post the decal I have pictured (the corky decal) it seems they added the manuafactured... bit pretty early but continued to make decals without it. This seemingly senseless number of decal for the same thing makes it very hard to date bikes as well as find the proper decal (in my case - thanks to Mike S though for producing it). Even Greg Softley in australia did not have my decal in his library.
