At the rear, due to a larger bumper , they made the taillights slimmer, yes, even if not always as clearly visible as in this shot. Also the number plate area was changed compared to the 411. Btw, Marathonmetallic was, according to contemporary brochures, available for both 1973 and 1974, so not much help there.

Larger engine (less powerful), change of track front and rear, extended bumper (front) gave an overall length of 3.3 inches more. As you know, most markets lost the fuel injection MY1974, the letter 'E' for late 1973 already (Still with injection, for some reason). Otherwise unchanged, I think.
