I find that interesting. Here's a photo of a 1972 from a compilation of catalogs I have. When you go to 1974, the Olympic Rings decal is no longer on this model and some others. Then, I don't know how accurate this compilation of catalogs is?

Then his listing states:

PAINT/ DECAL: WATERFORD BICYCLE REFURBISHED FRAME AND FORK WITH INSIDE TUBE CLEAN FRAME SAVER.NEW ORIGINAL FLAMBOYANT RED PAINT AND PERIOD CORRECT DECALS.CHROME: FRONT FORK CHROME VERY GOOD / REAR SEAT AND CHAINSTAYS GOOD CONDITIONTHEY DID A SUPERB JOB.

I'll probably contact him and ask the question. Again interesting and now a mystery. Thanks for pointing that out.

The deletion of the Olympic Rings decal happened sometime during the 1973 production; some 73's have them, some don't.
