1680 Insert Help

Is this insert correct for a 76 red sub guys? It seems to be fat font and have the tritium pearl but I want to be 100% sure before plunking down big money =)
thanks

Never seen a 76 red sub, sure you have the year correct? Also I believe it is a MK1 fat font per this site:

Oops I meant 3.7 mill which is a 73 I believe?
So this would be the correct insert

That's a really fat font. Nice. Not sure this would be period correct for mid '70s. But I'd wear it nonetheless!
