I think that 61 to 76 will fit. There is difference in trim and support rods
but the bonnets themself are the same.
Later than 76 I don't think will fit.

If I remember right all of them from 62-79 will fit. You will have to cut
new holes for the Sprite badge if it's from a midget, and maybe fill molding
holes (I'm not sure how they were secured) from earlier Midgets bonnets that
have the chrome strip. But I think any Sprite squarebody is a potential
donor.
I have a 74 midget bonnet on mine, and the only real difference was that
mine had a hood prop rod on the right that was changed later in production,
otherwise a perfect fit. I might be wrong about the very early ones and the
rubber bumper ones fiting, but I think that they will all work fine.
