My '73 unit has it.
HFR - Good eye. Actually it did although it can't be seen in the before photo. In the after photo, it has been pretty much obliterated by the polishing process. The rock pits were so bad on this one that I started sanding with 220 grit, went to 320, 400, 600, 800. 1000 and the 3000. After that I used the compound included in the 3M kit. Once this was done I still wasn't happy so I broke out the 3" R/O and used the Griot machine polish 1, 2 and 3, followed with the Best in Show Wax. On the other one the process was much the same, but I started with 600 grit and sanded much less aggressively since it had fewer deep pits, and tried to be careful to avoid the GM PN's. On the pitted one I didn't try that hard to avoid the part numbers and justified that by the fact that bezel covers that portion of the lens.
