    I think that for 1972, ESPECIALLY late 1972, either the 547XXXX or 545XXXX series caliper casting numbers could have been used. I would not even be surprised if "mixed sets" of BOTH castings were used on any given car. I've never made any sort of study on it, so I can't say for sure. But, for this sort of part, I'd say it's very possible.

    Many 547XXXX series caliper castings are dated (with a year). So, you may be able to tell if the particular casting has a plausible date to be original to the car. The 545XXXX series castings, if they have a date code, at all, there is no reference to year. So, that makes any coding fairly meaningless.
