Not ‘02. They look more like Six-Cylinder mudflaps, extending further up the fender lip than ‘02 mudflaps.

Do you mean for E9 ?

No, E3. That’s what is shown in the brochure photo. Is the part number on the orange label still legible? The brochure I’m showing is ca. 1972, and the part number shown for the “6-cylinders” is 72 10 1 804 713.

I realize the roundels are different, but there were at least two different OEM styles of roundels. A set I bought at the dealer in early 1974, for my ‘70 ‘02, had roundels like your set, not like the brochure photo.

Those look like E21 E12 but also have some slight differences, such as the square outline and the logo type. 

The clips are much (2") higher on the flaps than the E10 version.

The number is 72 001 823 013 or 72 801 823 013, it's hard to see

Or 72 601 823 013

theNomad nailed it. Googling the number turned up e12 and e21. The start date listed for both series applications, however, is June 26, 1972 — which represents the beginning of e12 production.

So it’s one, or the other, or maybe both!
