I had 2 '72 340 Dusters, both had drum.
The '72 window sticker has a high serial number. It's possible (pure speculation) that late in the '72 production run there were more disc spindles in stock than drum. Maybe Chrysler was trying to use up the extra disc spindles by making them std on the late production '72 340 models. Both spindles were not needed for '73 production as the drum and disc spindles were different along with the upper A-arm.
edit; RAII, you not doing yourself any favors with your sig line.

Post all you want anywhere you want. What Bee said, Ma was known for using up stocks of what was on hand as it is about efficiency/making a profit/keeping the lines moving/maximum output & that is all good.

the 1972 dealer code book shows power brakes & disc brakes to be OPTIONAL on Duster 340 but, it must have been confusing enough for someone to write "optional" on the copy I have I have a b'cast sheet for a 11/24/71 - SPD, US spec. HAMTRAMCK Duster 340 - it is coded "B11" - drum brakes here's a copy of a window sticker for a 12/12/71 - SPD, US spec. HAMTRAMCK Duster 340 - it states "power disc brakes" - STANDARD IMO questions were probably raised why the disc brakes were no longer STANDARD & a change was made during the 1972 Duster 340 model year late-November or early-December (based on the few pieces of info in this thread)

I had assumed exactly what you have shown but I was looking for a explanation .... SO, It now seems that a 1972 Duster could have come WITH or WITHOUT disc brakes as Standard equipment...
