Here it looks like the three-spoke-steering wheel, so a 1973 only MY - there was no "LS" with a regular paint in that year. The "LS" came in May 1973, and then until the end of the MY, only as the special model with the side stripes.

The Bosch-fog lamps have chrome going over the side edges Yes, they were an optional extra, also available in a "bad weather package", as named in the sales brochures, which included: fog lamps, back fog light, heatable back window and a 55 Ah alternator (basic was 43 Ah). The fog lamps itself, either Hella or Bosch, were all the same in the 70ies, just many different holders for different cars.
