I have a '73 and my bumper is chrome only. There are no rubber bumper
parts anywhere; nor are there overriders. Why?
From memory, the commision plate has a manufacture date of '72. Could
that be why?

Kerry and all,
I not sure how much light I can shed, but here goes. I have
CF25718UO, stamped in Sept '74 (maybe Aug, it's been a while). The
BMHIT (sp?) certificate for my car does not clarify '74 or '74.5.
Unfortunatly, it did not have the original engine when I got it, so I
cannot tell about emissions. It did have the rubber bumper overriders
and turn signals similar to '73 and earlier models. My understanding
was the '74.5 cars had the front turn signals/indicators on the
bumbers ala '75-6, and emissions ala the later cars also. Commission
numbers for these '74.5 models were between the '75 model year
(>35000) and the end of the '74s (~25800). I also have not been able
to verify this. I think you are correct in the assumption of
CF29133UO being a '74.5 (pre '75).
