Sure, this one is easy.

The later frames have more gussets on the front lower a-arm attachment
points. The early frames have one gusset on the rear lower a-arm
attachement. The later frames have one gusset on the front lower a-arm
attachment point and TWO on the rear lower a-arm attachment point.

There are some minor other details, but for the most part the lower a-arm
attachment points are the major difference.

FWIW, most folks doing framework on TR6 will add all the late-style
gussets to avoid the inevitable cracks on the front suspension mount
points.

Note - you can but a NEW frame if you want one.
