That would be round. Easy clue is the handle for the latch that keeps the hood from flying up. 1/79 when square style started that exposed handle was gone.
Also the square bezel used four spot welded bracket on the bib to mount the bezel.

A had a couple different 74 models that had the safety catch.
As in the pic Matt posted above. The square bezel is just a touch wider but the mounting holes are a little closer together. So not interchangeable but as stated above the bib could be swapped. Need to confirm the mount hole width.

Dates are wrong. Never seen a 40 series made before 1961. I've owned four FJ25s made in 1960. Some version of the 4X series was made as late as 4/86. Remember there was a 86 troopy for sale in Costa Rica years ago. Seen a parts listing for brake parts up to 4/86.
Few bibs I had easy excess to. First three pictures are from a 1/79+. Last two are 9/73-12/78. Bought it cheap years ago out of wrecking and believe it was odd a 74.
Few interesting facts. The screen is mounted closer to the front to help with clearance for a A/C condenser coil if it had that option. Even with the screen it is much lighter than the pre 1/79 version. Never compared the pre 7/71 to see if it is heavier still.

02/74 for the middle year revision of 74 (it's also the date for the introduction of the BJ, no loop on the barn doors, square blinkers for non-US markets, overflow bottle, etc.).
