Well here's my opinion as an all knowing guy who's had a bunch of these cars over the past 25 years, from 340s to 71 440 six barrel ragtops and a 71 hemicuda ragtop. The Hemicuda came with a 15 tire standard in 70 and 71. Other cudas did not, except for the AAR and T/A Challengers which had the "TA Fender" tag. Whether or not the astute person on the assembly line actually bolted on the correct set of fenders is another matter. (They did have different part numbers) My 71 Hemicuda ragtop had the fender tag but did not have rolled fenders on it prior to when I restored it. My 71 440-6 Cuda 4 speed ragtop had the rolled fenders because it was ordered with the 15" wheels while my 71 440-6 automatic had the standard 14" Rallye wheels. Personally I have never been able to visually tell the difference between the two unless I had them side by side. So if you have any comparison photos I'd be happy to see them for reference purposes.
