Could the PO have kludged it together because the welded nuts that the
screws attach to came off? The ones on my 77B did, and getting a wrench
back behind the metal to hold a free nut is NOT fun (almost got my arm
permanently stuck in that little cavity once). I can easily see
why somebody would go with a more cheezy attachment method if their
<Ahem!> nuts fell off.

I think the transition between grey and black frames was with the
introduction of the Michelotti-designed folding hood on 1970 models.
