Scoops question 1973 Duster 340

Hello,
New here, but not new to Mopar or reading your forums, been using you guys as a resource for years, never had a need to make an account to post until now. I have a restoration body question for the experts. I have a VS29H3B code 73 Duster 340 I’m trying to restore. I wasn’t around in 73 to see it original (born in 81). I am trying to restore it to look as original as possible. There is NO fender tag. The car has the dual snorkel scoop. It looks old as the car. So, to the question. I have read many forum post by the knowledgeable members here, they don’t seem to agree on 1973 340 hood scoop as an option. All agree that 70-72 340 scoop was never an option. Several posts state No 340 was ever offered with a scoop, several posts state 1973 was the only 340 scoop option. That’s between your forum, mopar forum etc.

That said, I would like to hear your guys argument, facts. Did the duster 340 come with a scoop option in 1973, if so does anyone have original pics, option code, what was the color scheme. I’ve seen some body colored, some the scoop is black, some the scoop and the raise in the hood up to the cowl was black. The last one is what I am told is correct. So I ask you what is correct? Can we all agree on what is correct? Facts, stories, gripes, pics, and especially codes, all weclome.

My car will never be an all original restoration as the original 340 and 4 speed are long gone. The fender tag is also long gone, so I’m restoring a factory era correct 340 4 speed as close to what one would have looked like at the time. Your help and input is greatly appreciated...
