I don't know which manual you have but the 71 has no eclectic starter, so you could just look for that. The stock wiring harness on my 71 has a tag and the number starts with a 256 on the 72 it starts with a 306. It's not unusual to see a 72 wiring harness used on a 71 they just don't use the wires that go to the starter. On my Haynes manual 1971 (XS1B) is on page 133.
