I love these, Never seen this version of one, I would guess its later (1974/1975) do to the decaling only becuase JC penney decaling went pretty straighforward/bland with the decaling around that time on all the bikes.
Looks to have a longer seat area on it over the usually seen version like the 1973 I had, dunno about the engine guard though. Would be a cool project bike:
