I looked at my 72 today and it looks like the back of the hood was painted as well as the cowl area inside the hood gasket.

The 72 V21 is a completely different animal. My car is an example of the '72 V21/V25 stripe code, available only on N96 cars.

Bottom silhouette represents the V21/V25 option:

It is my understanding that a 72 should not have the blackout extended to the back of the hood.
