Just to clarify, aren't the early ones '74 and earlier and the late ones '75 and later?

I think you are right. Changed when the charcoal filter went into the engine compartment - if I'm correct.

Thanks for your kind and compassionate feedback. 
I have no problem lowering the asking price.
When I set my original price, it was based on the cost of a new
refurbished raw tank without any of the goodies - $650.
I'm kind of shooting in the dark here regarding used, but here
are some used prices I found parted-out:
Fuel tank - $170 used
Expansion canister - $60 used
Fuel gauge sender - $35
Fuel cap - $20 used
Rubber tank support buffers - $40
Fuel tank outlets with nuts - $30 new
Mounting straps and bridge - $20 used
That comes out to $375. More reasonable?

According to the parts diagrams, the two different tanks are '73 and earlier, and '74 and later:

Although the fuel lines change from '74 to '75.

If you can, show some pics of the inside of the tank. Pull the sender and shine a light in that opening. Take pic or two from the filler looking into the tank. Big value factor is the condition of the inside of the tank.
Just my 2 cents. GLWTS

Sorry to hijack the thread but I have a quick question. What does an early, NOS tank go for with the original, paper part # taped to the outside of the tank and a "virgin" inside the tank- no fuel ever. Thanks
Do you have one?
If so what ever someone is willing to pay.
I have never seen one.

Wow, first several members are rude to the OP, who just posted a simple for sale add. Now a hijack. How quickly the world is changing. Time to check ourselfs, or maybe don't post when your full of liquid courage.
