The -72 and -73 have strakes on the engine cowling, which are small fins at about 11:00 and 1:00 if you're facing the engine intake head on.

Here's a UPS -71 with no strakes:

...and here's a Beta -73 with the strakes:

I offer no excuse. Besides what Jim pointed out, the -73 has 6 feet of additional wing span and a slightly different flap configuration. Dee
