fwiw, the '72 6's used the 914/4 steering column (and hence, a right placement of the key on the column). For 1972, they were essentially a "special order"

base 914/6 wheels were 5 bolt steel wheels.. same as the base 911T wheel. 5.5x15. Ours came that way, but my dad had them swapped out for 5.5x14 Fuchs.

That said, its likely a 4 based on the current wheels and condition.

914/4 VIN starts with 47 (ie, 1970 would start 470xxxxx, 1973 would start 473xxxxx
914/6 VIN starts with 914.. the 4th number would be year.. so 9140xxxxxx is 1970, 9141xxxxx is 1971 etc.

VIN can be found along the A pillar under the windshield on the drivers side, or on the B pillar in the door jam on a tag on the drivers side (as well as under the front trunk)
