No front clip or dash?

What's the orientation of the lens on the qtr panel?

have a look at the metal section of the dash that is fixed to the back of the fire wall between the crash pad and windscreen, the XC is a different shap then the XA -XB , also the XC has the headlight brackets welded to the radiator panel, the earlier ones bolted on.

if it has the vents in the door jambs, it is likely to be an xa or an xb produced in the first few months of 1974
