There is no such thing as a very early dolomite 1300 or 1500, the first dolomite 13/1500 hit the showrooms in 1976 and were all fitted with bulbed headlights.
Sorry J but some of the early 1300/1500 Dollies (as in the 1976ish cars) did have sealed-beam lamps. The 1300/1500 brochure illustrated both types fitted. Also, early 1300/1500 models do have the larger 1500FWD/TC type of steering wheel and the 1300 has vinyl seats, prior to benefitting from cloth from around late '77.

Also, the rear manual adjusting brakes of the Toledo are the same on the Dolomite 1300. The Dolomite 1500 only had auto adjus.

According to the workshop manual (RTC9185, dolomite range 76>) the 1300 and 1500 had the same set up but the 1300 BL manual shows the manual adjust type on the 1300 and auto adjust on the 1500!
I have owned 1300 dolomite with auto adjust and some with manual adjust but i have never seen a 1300 or 1500 dolly with sealedbeam units maybe they were just using up the leftovers :shrug:

My 1971 toledo has the chroome gutter trim... is it likely that someone in the past has just added these?

Quite possibly, as the gutter trim was fitted as standard from the 1975 model year only.
