1976 7up bottle that isn't a 1776 commemorative?

So i found my first actual bottle dump today, which is apparently pretty hard in the North Texas area. Now I didn't find anything beyond belief but i found a few bottles I thought were neat including (most of) a Dr. Thacher's Liver and Blood Syrup, some bottles which I believe could be perfume bottles, and this 7up bottle. After only a minute or two of researching I found out that the manufacturing date is on the bottom of 7up bottles so I looked and the only number that is reasonable is 76. So I looked up 1976 7up bottle and all I could find were the 1776-1976 bicentennial bottles (which mine definitely is not). If someone could lend some more information on my bottle it would be much appreciated!

I see the same style bottle on ebay ($10 free ship) but with a 73 on bottom. They state it's from the 70's. 132138232621
