My 0L106374 has these Formula bars. Interesting to notice that the Build Sheets did not make a distinction whether the TA was built with large or smaller bars. All that I've seen so far just have the same F41 suspension code.
FYI: I've documented AT LEAST 3 Norwood built 70 T/A's with the W66 swaybars.

One of them belongs to another forum member & is quite an EARLY build,as I recall it was initially shipped to a Zone Office rather than a selling dealer.

The other 2 were about mid-term production if memory serves.
