Roughly 70,000 made between 69 and 76 of which only about 10% were UK cars.
UK market cars had 150 BHP and fuel injection. US cars were emasculated by twin carbs which gave the a limp-wristed 104 BHP.

That's right, the US cars were de-tuned and had twin Stromberg carbs I think with fatter heavier protruding bumpers and small square under bumper indicators while the brit ones as you say gave 150hp with Lucas fuel injection and above the slimmer front bumper there were the much more desirable longer side light/indicators directly on the body panel with a BL front spoiler fitted on later models to keep the front end down at high speeds.
