On page 10 of the Ford Pantera Parts Catalog it has a chart of the 1971 and 1972 up paint codes. Bronze Metallic is not listed as a 72 up paint color.
Look up under your dash, under the carpet, behind the door upholstery, behind the rear bulkhead panel, etc for any evidence that the car was originally painted a different color.
