I wonder if different markets had different beam specs? More than likely. Cheap skate UK got basic panel vans and a tin opener, USA got every deluxe extra.

Yes trying to get a definitive answer is proving difficult!! Mine is 79 and has no servo bracket.
Anyway the one I want to buy is off a late 72, the guy says although he doesn't know what the differences in early/late beams are, everything else on the front of his bus suggests late, ie panel, steering box, brakes, accelerator.
Would just like to know for certain before I travel to buy it...

It will be fine. ๐
The only thing that would cause a problem would be the bolt holes, and a 72 is the same as a 79

I guess that to make really sure if he measures the bolt holes on his and you on yours then you know if it'll fit - just in case his is some sort of Frankenstein bus.

Picked it up today, just to decide how much time to waste on it before I fit it! Strip, clean and paint ? Bang it on as is? If the steering pin was worn would it be visibly, or feel, loose?

Well it seemed silly not to really....but all the things I'm doing , are only because it's way easier to do with all the guff out of the way under there. The painting is frivolous, and I frequently regret starting it!!
