I know Aussie-built 1975 models had a larger hole for the bumper (and no indicator holes) but are flat-screen S- and round-screen L-bug front guards the same shape?

It looks like they are...
as in the US they sell 74-79 front fenders the same...

71-73 just didn't have the large holes for the shock absorber bumpers....

So they must be the same.....
