Looking in my book of statistics doesn´t give a definite answer either, I can´t tell which body from that. But there were a small amount of cars registered as 1972 MY, about a 100 cars in total. I guess that the [B] was released during spring and that these 1972 cars sold here have the [B] body since I´ve never heard of a 1972 Commodore [A]. This would however be one of the earliest produced since the filmimg was done during summer of 1972
