Just for chuckles, I brought up the Cardisc and looked at the wiring
diagrams for the '74 Spider, and the '74 Berlina.

The numbers are not there on the Spider wiring diagram, but they are
there on the Berlina diagram.

So, the IAP diagram may be an accurate copy of the factory diagram,
perhaps the numbers were just never there on the Spider diagram.

Well, then I guess you'd be wrong here - the Berlina diagram appears to
have the information you're looking for, and your '75 Alfetta diagram
seems to have it too.
