The manufacture date of January 1972 would imply that the car was fitted 
with the 4.11:1 diff. It would be best, though, to count revolutions to 
be sure one way or the other. Just mark a wheel and the driveshaft and 
see how many turns it takes the driveshaft to turn one wheel a full 
revolution (with the other wheel held still). Just under 4=3.89:1; just 
OVER 4=4.11:1. Over 5 turns=contact me. I'm always interested in rare 
Herald options! ;-)
