deck lids

I have a few deck lids that I am going to try and sell at some of the shows this year. The question I have is some of them have 4 sets of louvers. I know that they started using them on the 70 verts and on sedans in 73, but some of them have 2 extra vents (one on each outside bank). What year did they go from having 4 equal sets to having the inner 2 sets having the same number and the other 2 sets having a total of 2 more?

As you said, the lid with the four equal sets of seven louvers were introduced for the convertibles in 1970. They increased the curvature on that lid for the 71 model year and then introduced the lid with the two inner sets reduced to six each, for the 72 year, on both convertibles and

1.3 &1.6L Sedans.
