My old R/T SE has a SPD of 723 & does not have the dimples... I guess it's suspect.....
My Shaker Challenger has the same SPD, is the same color as your car and is within 200 VIN numbers. Yet mine has the dimples.
Your car must be suspect

1. In 70, the original firewall tooling for the 70 E-bodies had no dimples 2. In 70/71 as California cars required the Nox device, the firewall tooling was revised with the dimples 3. In 71, cars being sold in California had the firewall dimples punched out to accomodate the Nox device 4. In 72, when all states required the Nox device all firewalls had the 3 holes punched out Just my $0.02...

My AAR has a spd of 4-02 on bsheet, but has 3-70 on door and also has dimples. Is this a problem?
Not a problem. For that late of production it would be more common to have the dimples.

You're right. Had to look back, but no examples of LA cars with dimples.
