I think you mean 3RD gen ( 71/74 ) no 3 gens

Yes but:

-71/72 front uses a screw to attach on a somekind of inner reinforcemen to the brace between fender and bumper... 73/74 uses a Bolt with a fastener on brace to attach on an eyelet extension of bumper on same area

-73/74 rear and front have an inner "reinforcement" welded on bumper to attach the rubber bumper fillers ( except to the center front bumpe filler ). 71/72 no. 73/74 rear also has a pair of holes on top corners to fillers studs.

-Cosmetic differences like center charger arrow on 71/72. No emblem on 73/74.

-72 has slots on rear bumper to jack, rest don't

-71/72 are lighter bumpers.

-71/72 bumper brackets are slightly different to get closer to body. 73/74 are larger to bumper fillers... but that is the brackets itself on frame ends, not on Bumper ends.

I don't remember if there is more to think on, but they are interchangeable anyway.

Thanks, If I understand this correct, the 71/72 are interchangeable and look similar but 72's have slots for the jack on rear.
I assume that this is a front 1972?? and that the front a have slot for the jack too, and that this bumper easy will fit on a -71?
