The grille shell is the same 1971/72 F100/350 (D2TZ-8200-A replaced D1TZ-8200-A) and has been repro'd. The R/L grille inserts are specific to 1971 or 1972.
The 1972 grille inserts (D2TZ-8150-A right & D2TZ-8151-A left) have been repro'd, but 1971's have not.
The 1970 grille shell and grille inserts are 1970 ONLY.

'70 inserts' mounting points are specific to the '70 shell's tabs.
Swapping to a 70 grill requires the inserts and shell as an assembly. 70-72 headlight doors and gravel shield are interchangeable.

Late 1970's have the same inserts left and right (they're actually both right sides), so one cannot install an early left insert into a late 1970's grille frame.
When Ford made this change they supplied the grille inserts with the grille frame as an assembly (D0TZ-8200-D - you bought one a these recently). But the inserts could be bought by themselves.
