Hi Kye,

Yep, a later model.
Kirby 'modernised' the engine by incorporating the much used
plastic ful tank that clipped on to the front.

In this ad from late 1973, note the Bragg name Jetfast appears
on the mower but not in the text. The engine is a KAV74 (not KAY).
The catcher is now plastic. At $99 this was entry level. It's
competitor ... the Victa Mayfair of course.
