Hello, Jeroen,
As I believe I mentioned when you updated the Registry with your info,
Palm Beach models weren't
produced until the 1975 model year and your coach is a very early 1973
mfg'd around March 1st
I called one of the early prior owners and they said while they could
recall the model, it is definitely not
a Palm Beach. I've put calls into other prior owners and will let you
know if I learn anything definte.

In an earlier posting Jeroen stated that he had found the coach had been painted green at one time. Normally the original color can be found on the firewall. Parrot Green (darker than the green used on the Palm Beach) was the only green offered in 1973.
IF the green was the original color it would narrow the possibilities to only two models:

According to this brochure, Parrot Green was available only on the Sequoia and Glacier models. I personally would go with Sequoia. Even in the '70's, I do not think they sold very many dark green on the outside and bright blue on the insides! (Glacier) Just note: Parrot Green was dropped before the 1974 model year.
There are other tel-tales in the interior that might give Jeroen a clue. (Some may still be there after PO refurbishing.) The Sequoia cabinets are lighter color, the siding panels in bath where green and he might be able to find some carpet remnants under the built in furniture/cabinets. Somewhere I have seen a series of pictures of material samples... just can not find them now.
Jeroen,
These links might help you to upload pictures:
