73-74 Saddle and 75-76 Saddle

Are these the same color saddle or different?

Re: 73-74 Saddle and 75-76 Saddle

Thanks!

I got confused because looking at the color samples on USA1 Industries' website, the 75-76 sample looks darker than the 73-74 sample. I couldn't understand why the color would be different for those years, and I didn't want to spend $40 for color samples (even though I think highly of USA1's products).

Maybe they have two different samples because the carpet style changed from loop pile to cut pile.

That’s who I use also for all my dye. When the can comes, it has 73-76 on it. A few of the other colors are like that also. They look slightly darker or lighter on the chart, but they are actually the same shade.

67-72
73-75
76/77

This photo the webbing is lighter because I did these for a friends 66. I made them to match her interior

Just happened to find a text that I had gotten from you awhile back about the belts.
