    Unkike in '68-70 (maybe only '69-70?) when GS 350 ("34") & GS 455 ("46") were different series, "34" in '71-2 is technically a GS, not a GS 350. The 350 was the standard engine in a GS and the 455 & Stage 1 engines were optional. Hence the difference in the air cleaner decals in '70 vs. '71-2 as well.

    (*there was no 455 for 1968 and 1969)




    Yep, it also says only GS in the 1972 (Canadian) brochure, with 350 or 455 engine options:
