Never saw the bird with the circle on the trunklid{for 73}...Front header yes...But who knows...Never say never.. .. I've also seen the standing bird on the opposite side of the decklid from the "road runner" script on what appears to be the early 73s.. ...But yes the majority of them had the standing bird and the stick on script on the same side{right}..
