Hey guys, how to differentiate 71-74 Electra from same years LeSabre?

The Electra's were built on the GM C-body (Cadillac deVille/Fleetwood, Oldsmobile 98, Buick Electra) whereas the LeSabre's were built on the B-bodies (Chevrolet Impala/Caprice, Pontiac Catalina/71-74 Bonneville, Oldsmobile Delta 88, Buick LeSabre/Centurion). Not only were the C-bodies built on a longer wheelbase, they had a more formal roof line (most obvious at the c-pillar)and tended to have a different rear-end appearence. There is one exception to all of this. The Pontiac Granville/75-76 Bonneville were also built on the B-body but utilized the more formal roof line of the C-body.

Here's a rear 3/4 shot of a 72 Electra coupe. Aside from detail and bumper changes, The 71 through 74 are identical.
