Yes, that's right. Date of registration is irrelevant, the long shaft models
weren't marketed in the UK until (I think) March 1973, but were built from
October 1972,
Presumably that also applies to FM 1 U and future, for the "Federal" 1973
model-year 1500 series. That would jibe with the advertising for same as well
as
the couple of very early US 1500s I've seen over the years.
