Skywatcher68 wrote I think '71s had a smaller indicator/side marker on the corner. The larger side marker (with an integrated cornering light) was an option on both years. The white lens is for the cornering light, the amber lens is for the side marker. Models with no cornering lights just have the amber lens (which is about 1/3rd the size of this one).
