75 & 76 175's XC's

[skiracer]

Is there any difference between the two years? From what I have read and have seen in photos, they both have the longer (200mm) forks, they both have the same swingarm with the laydown shocks, and the motors are ported the same.  Any thoughts?

Tank and color are different. Mid year 76 marzocchi front and rear.

So, what shocks did the 75 have, and what position were they in? Laydown or straight up and down?
