Side stripe changes info needed - 1973 Mach 1 Mustang

I am confused about 1973 Mach 1 stripes. Almost everything I read says the side stirpes changed in 1973. But I have several books that show the higher full length stripe on a '73 as well. Then I surf the net and see both the lower 3/4 length stripe on some and the higher longer on others. The rear stripe change from 72 to 73 seems to be consistent, but not the side. Can someone clear this up? Thanks.

I believe that the correct striping for the '73 is the lower stripe and it only runs to the front of the rear wheel(three-quarter length).

Here's what the 73's stripes look from the side and back. Completely different all around than the 71-2. 73 Mach 1

A lot of people you will find put the full length narrow stripes from 71-2s on the 73 Mach1s just for the looks.
