I wouldn't be too sure on that. According to the radiator usage chart in the 1971 service manual, page 6A-26, the "F" series with 455HO shows FS and FP for the heavy duty and air conditioned cars but shows FR and FM for the basic car. I am sure the FS and FP are the 4-core radiators and the FR and FM are the 3-core. My 71 is a basic car and had an original 3-core shroud on it, though the radiator was not original.
Could the service manual not be accurate and somehow my car got a correct original 3-core shroud with it, sure, anything as possible. It would be interesting to hear from people with original cars that can verify this issue one way or the other.
