I am calling these 1976-77 roof panels. Does that look like correct year?

Well they look like the parts in that catalog listing but not clear to me what the E vs L differences are in these parts. In most industries if you change the revision to a part number it still has to be interchangeable with any other revision. If not, then you have to change the part number. I have never been sure if that was true in the auto industry or not. I assume it is, but assumptions are risky. In any case, thank you for posting that link. It gives me a reference point to indicate that the 76-77 time frame is valid.
