Tom,
I had been wondering the same thing about my 74 Midget. I had always thought
that it should have the license plate lights mounted behind the inside edge of
the half-bumpers like on the 69, 70, and 71's that I had, but it has the same
setup as yours -- mounted on a license plate bracket like what I would have
expected for 75 and newer.
I know suspect that there was a changeover somewhere during the 74 year and
they switched from the pre-74 style to the 75+ style. Just out of curiousity,
it would be interesting to compare your VIN & build date with mine. (I'll
have to check when I get home).
