the frames are absically the same same year to year but they had different seat releases & they dropped the hard backs in 72 or 73 , I would think the covers will fit but the foams & seat backs may be different , your picture doesn`t show the back or seat release

The seat cover material is wrong, should be vinyl. The front seat is 72 Challenger (not sure what the seat pattern was for the cuda in that year may be the same) but definitely 72 seat and the rear is a 71 cuda seat pattern.

I do not see any plastic coming down the sides of these seats, my guess is that they are either 73 or 74 seats without the plastics or provesions for them on the sides.  72 was the last year that plastics were used on the seat backs and are shared with seat back plastics from 71.
