I believe that there may be a slightly different size between the early windows (1973 are early design) and a 1976. The change to the newer window may have included other factors on the cut-outs.
I know that the glass components will not interchange between the models.
Unfortunately, you pays your money and takes your chances.
I don't understand the desire to change out the new version of the windows for the early version. Does not appear that you will gain anything for the amount of work involved. More people prefer the gap between the sliding parts and the fixed parts of the OEM window to face the rear of the coach for rain intrusion control while driving.
If the object is to gain the darker tint, it would be faster and probably cheaper to just get the windows tinted.
