I also owned a 72 Grabber in 1975 and mine had the sportlamps. Your car could have lost the sportlamps possibly by front end damage over the years. Also the vinyl top could have been added at some point and possibly is not a factory top. Many dealers in the 60's and 70's put vinyl tops on cars as a dealer added option. My 76 Stallion has a dealer added vinyl top only because i ordered it and it left the factory without the top and i insisted it have one.
