I forgot to mention that base plates on bottle molds were interchangeable - which means an older bottle mold could be equipped with a newer base pate, as illustrated on this 1971 Peps Cola mold. In the case of the Orange Crush bottle, Laurens Glass Works could very easily have used an old mold and equipped it with a new base plate. Hence, changing the year code when it was made, which was for quality control purposes..
