Right!  According to the Thomason book, the change happened at serial number
50,000.  That was the first of the 1973 models that began production in
October of 1972.

Actually, the rear axles (the "driveshafts" that I believe you are alluding
to) were not lengthened until the 1973 model year -
71 and 72 got the swing spring and square tail, but the same length old
axles as the MKIII's had, albeit with bigger U-Joint flanges.
