The reason the triangulation was different is that both cars were built in different years.

Al Unser's 1 was built in 1969, the cage is an add on and you can see that car in the Speedway museum as part of the Parnelli Jones collection that has found it's way there. Yes, that is (per Jones) the Johnny Lightning car.

The Andretti car is newer (73 I believe) and ran with the Viceroy team through 75. It later ended up in the hands of none other than Junior Kurtz and was driven by Rutherford, Gurney and Chassey. It has been restored to it's 1974 livery.
