If the car has the hubcentric ring on the rotor, it's late. If not, it's early.

The 73 style rotors are hub centric and do not work on early models. I bought a pair of rotors that were for a 72 and they do not work on my 72 because of production differences during that year. I suggest getting them for a 73 or newer.
The rotors on the car are for a 73 and up. The new ones (that dont fit) are for the 70 - 72ish model years. Attached image(s)

The other difference is that the calipers are single and double bleeders. Unfortunately, one major caliper rebuilder used to take single bleeders and drill them for the second bleeder, so you never know.
