That covers a lot of possibilities, e.g.:

 

1. Round taillight "short tail" (U.S. - no license lights) - 12/66 to 4/71

2. Round taillight "short tail" (Euro - license lights) - 4/66 to 4/71

3. Round taillight "long tail" (U.S. - no license lights) - 4/71 to 8/73 

4. Round taillight "long tail" (Euro - license lights) - 4/71 to 7/77

5. U.S. square taillight - 9/73 to 7/76

 

There are probably additional subtle differences that this list misses, e.g., (a.) touring? (b.) does the Euro "long tail" change with the advent of the square taillight body?

 

And, just to make matters more confusing, I've regularly seen styles 1 through 4 above referred to as "Euro bumpers"....?  I suspect the rationale behind this overly-broad use of "Euro" is that styles 1 through 4 are all chrome-plated steel (in their OEM form), as distinguished from the anodized cast aluminum of style 5, which only made it onto U.S.-spec square taillights.

 

Please note that my comments above are not solely directed towards you; they are directed toward the legions of '02 owners who may not recognize the many differences among '02 bumpers across time and across regions.

 

Regards,
