It is possible its an SR produced in 1972.
I think we have had 1 or 2 such examples of 0273 before.
Not saying they are/were that exact date.
A search might provide more info.
Probably take a lot of weeding out to find.


Should not have WC.
In undisturbed form - there would be no modulator valve vac nipple.
If its been reman'd - it could have a number of improper things about it.



There are also other possibilities.
Casting numbers and various pictures would be required.
Good luck.
