 The pre VIN era 'E' usually means 1976, confirmed by serial number

 Bumper with full gum cladding is usually what identifies it as an early model - starting in 1976, there was a gap near the licence plate area.

 'In 1976', do you mean 1976 model year? Unfortunately, not even browsing the parts list gives more info. But, the chassis number speaks for itself, an ad showing the new 1976 may be useful?

 Maybe this could be a very early 1976 model year, produced in late 1975 - as the change occured almost immediately into the 1976 calendar year itself.

 Having a 1976 244 DL, I've been thinking of this myself.

Early 1976 (that is August 1975 until, I believe, roughly November-December 1975) production is considerably different compare with the later production. Things that differ are the steering wheel and the front bumper, but I also believe the black licence plate lights came in mid ’76 production.

Lateef link shows the 1978 bumper, there was actually one in between.
1975 until early ’76 Link to "teknikensvarld.se"
Late ’76 and 1977 Link to "teknikensvarld.se"
1978 until 1980 Link to "teknikensvarld.se"

All of this is not strange, as manufacturers have to make small changes all the time in order to keep production going. I don't know if this is valid of today, but I know that Volvo used to have ÄT (=Ändringstillfällen = Times of change) 10 times every year when major changes took place.

Also the 70's was very difficult for a small company like Volvo, as they couldn't manufacture all parts themselves and not enough, that is big, subcontractors were available in Sweden, they had to rely on foreign ones. But as Volvo used to buy a lot of parts from the U.K., and they were on strike all the time, that made life complicated, and thus they had to use several subcontractors for each part. Steeering gear from Cam Gear, ZF and Saginaw - Callipers from ATE and Girling - Starter motor from Bosch and Hitachi - Alternator from Bosch and SEV - Carburettor from SU, Zenith-Stromberg and later Pierburg - Rear lights from Hella and Cibie - Speedometer from VDO and Yazaki - ...

 Unfortunately it's in rather rough condition at the moment, and it's in a shed which means it's rather difficult to reach it.
