The one without the heat shield with the number 12475 does sound like the one I'm after.
The heat shield was to stop the heat getting to the carby as it was causing the fuel to evaporate in the carby.They where added when the mower went for a service and had the updated engine installed.So it was (I can't remember the date) but was early in 1976.


Here for a good time,not a long time.
