Yup, that's it!
Thanks for the build date clarification, that makes more sense now. A very late '72 would have definitely been registered as a '73 model.
I just did a VIN decoding on Provamo, and it does appear to be a 1/73 build date, L model. The dashboard threw me a curveball! Very interesting to see that dash in a '73 car. The bumpers I've seen swapped back and forth, but the dash was a new one to me.
