It's my understanding that the early style inner braced 70 hood was of poor design and the hoods would break where it bolted to the hinged and bow and 1st seen mid 1970. It is possible that your car was under warranty and the dealer installed the better version of the hoods. I'm curious if the snorkles are cut open. Please share pics of opening along with any stickers like "ram air", or boot rings and screens. If it has these then yours wsd probably a warranty hood and technically a service dealer replacement my guess. I'm no expert and still learning this stuff. They date was written by hand and anyone can write a date on it with a yellow crayon that's easy.I have see hand written dates on drivers side I think.
