* The 1972 B110 dash pad has a single "hump" along the top edge shading the instrument cluster
* The PB110 dash pad has an additional "hump" over the glovebox door for a more symmetrical look

New podded instrument panels were used starting January 1972 on regular Datsun 1200 B110, as well as with Sunny Excellent 1400 (PB110), as can be seen here:
