This Zemaitis was built in March 1971, as was Wood's Disc Front Zemaitis, and the Faces toured England I believe in June, so this probably is June '71. I have never been able to identify the difference between this Zemaitis and the one he used after 1973 and before 1977. This one was stolen in '73, and he had Tony Zemaitis build an quite exact copy. But, there must be some visible differences, but I have never been able to eshtablish that.
