"...If you know the logic behind saying that later cars had the glass installed, "post delivery", it would be great if you can explain the reasoning..."
One possible explanation of this could be that someone could have installed the Bird Glass years later. In the mid to late '70's, the 1st gen Birds were dirt cheap. I probably bought a couple of dozen myself. Several of 'em still had 400/TH400 in 'em. And somewhere around $350, is the most I paid. Some of those without a drivetrain were $100-$150.
And there were wrecked Birds. So, probably $100 or less would have bought a good junkyard door, with Bird Glass. This stuff was cheap back then. Nobody thought it would ever be worth what it is today.
