What model is this? (pic) was created by Buggin

Found this for sale. Asked seller to check frame and engine numbers but they are slow coming back with the info. My best guess is this is 75-76 DT 250 or 400. Can anyone tell for sure from the pics? Some obvious part swapping going on like the front disk rotor. Thanks.

Rear shocks on back to front.

If decompression valve present, then 74 DT360 or 75-76 DT400. If not, then 74-76 DT250.

The real experts might be able to tell by counting the fins on the engine!

Looks like it has same number of fins as my 400. Can't really tell if there is a decomp valve there. Also looks like fin damage near reed cage. If it is a 400 I could use the parts.

I'm no expert but sometimes I play one on the forum. I also stayed at a Holiday Inn Express a few weeks ago.

1975 was first year of "radial head" on DT250/400.  So best my best guess is 75-on engine.  Tank looks to be from different bike.  Frame looks like 74-76...  not sure of any significant frame change from 74 to 75/76? 

My guess on displacement is 250.
