CW,

IIRC it may depend upon when in the Aug 72 - July 73 production run, & what was in the parts bin at the time, but I don't recall seeing the red-band one in any 73, but maybe.

Heck, I'd even had to look at the one in my early 73 again to see what it is! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) See pix below, which are similar to your left one, with Bilstein on the top, but I can't read the left one's top in your pic,

I'd suggest looking at the pix in your owners manual (they're only B&W) to try to match it to what you have in the pix above, or if you don't have the manual - then find a local with a near build date to yours & look in their owners manual.

Ditto to check with a few other 73 914 owners in your area with cars around the same VIN date / Karmann plate Chassis # build date - Chassis # is decoded as: WW-D-95-###, with WW being week # in the year, D is day # M-F, 95 is Karmann plant ( or 96 adds 100 to ###, 97 200, etc.), & ### is car # that day - use a 72 or 73 calendar to get your precise date (based on year of VIN sticker on the rear driver door jamb).

The resources on the p914.org & .com websites are still in the process of being rebuilt after a lightning strike, so it doesn't show the extra info (yet, or as before).

Here's pix of mine + tool kit, in case that's the next post which I see (note that early 73's often also had white handle screwdrivers, but this black one was in my car when I bought it from the OO in 12/75) - FYI - mine is a `73 My 914-2.0 "914S" with a 8/31/72 build date -

.... tool kit at next post ....

Good Luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
