any thoughts on this. Lots of numbers on it...

I can't tell from the pictures, but if the push buttons are chrome it usually means 70-71 vintage, black push buttons are 72-74.
Wards radio has a really good site to identify E body radios, check it out.
I'll try to look up the part number on your radio later today or tomorrow.

1875 stamped on the tag means the 187th day of. 1975. It looks like a radio that I’ve seen in a dodge pickup of that era.

It is a Chrysler radio 3501-504 for a 72 B body, Chrysler and Chrysler Imperial according to this radio ID Chart.

I don’t know if it helps but here’s a photo of the radio in my 74 Cuda

I know in e bodies the chrome buttons stopped with the 71 model year. (Wards info)
May be Chrysler's (more expensive cars) kept using them?

The radio ID site uses part numbers for identification then adds an accompanying picture. The picture in the site looks identical to "Scottys" radio. The am-fm button is different as well as the knobs when compared to an e body radio; along with other physical differences.
Interesting to do the comparisons.

The floor mounted tape player In this First photo is a cassette. 8 tracks were all in the dash from 1968-1970. Then started up again in mid 70’s but with an all black plastic face and push buttons. Last photo
