Is it a 72 model year or a built in 72?
If its built after 1st August 72 (or thereabouts) then it'll probably be a late.
The chassis number should tell you, located on the LHS of the engine bay.
The third digit will be a 2 if it's a 72 and a 3 if it's a 73.

I think the doors changed in '74 or '75ish - the hinges changed but you can get adaptors to put that right. There were also subtle differences through the years such as vents along the front edge or lock pulls over in handle locks but I don't know when these occurred.

Pretty sure all windows are the same size (excluding panel van conversions).

If you look at the front of your bus at the bottom: is there a big, lumpy, sticky-out bit all across the bottom? If so then you're on late bumpers. If the bottom of the front panel is smooth then you're on earlies.
