My Fastback Manufacture date is April of 72 it has 2 rail seats not 3. 
The roached out 72 square I used for parts during the restoration had 2 
rail seats. It was made in January of 72. I had to go through a few junk 
72 T-3s in my area for a few more parts and all but one had two rail 
seats in them. The one that had three rail seats was made in June of 72. 
Maybe they sent a big chunk of the 72s with three rail seats in your 
part of the country Jim. I sure haven't seen many down here.
