amendment to my earlier post;

I took 'nacho's quote about the brown hood being a 1971 at face value;
I did not see (I was looking on my phone at the time) the presence of the braces.

I can now see (probably in part because I am now looking for it) that the second image shows the bracing;
With that being said, has anyone just drilled the rivets, removed the bracing, and epoxied over the bracing rivet holes?

I will add this;
from the "1970 one year only parts" thread:

I am not quoting myself to seem egotistical, but rather, if I have this wrong, I need to correct it.
I have tried to help with that ongoing thread in the hopes of better compiling all the unique features of 1970 (and to a lesser degree the 70-72) cars for the community;
If I have added something in error, I need to be corrected.
