Names: Six-Day, Jackpiner, Hare Scrambler, and Mint were dropped after '75 model year.
In '76 all the off-road/enduro models were called "Cross Country".

In 76 the 175 was a GS. IN 77 it was a GS6. Hope this helps. Later Gary

I was just going by what's written in the "Production Year Guide" here.

1976
* Model line diverged into two distinctly different models - the MC5 and the Cross Country
* December 1975 brought the debut of the new 125cc KTM engine with 32mm Bing carburetor
* 125cc engine has black cylinder and head fins with "125 KTM" cast in side of cylinder  with silver gear box - all other
   engine sizes are totally finished in silver
