Given all the work I have done to find out what was used in period and I have a number of supporting documents - FIA papers, Sport Option Catalogs, articles etc should I look at applying for Schedule K on my COD for this car?
Absolutely and in my experience it is not too difficult, easy in fact. As discussed, I can only advise on my experience with the '02. I built the car following to the letter a build sheet I drew up after obtaining Homologation papers, the FIA Group 2 regulations for 1973 (because you need to nominate the actual period/year the car represents), some info gathered on the net (Frank de Jong's "Touring Car History" http://touringcarracing.net was a good starting point) and the current sched K regulations (because there are some catch-alls in there not necessarily covered by the other documents).

When the car was ready for its paperwork I simply filled in the MSNZ form which basically outlined the modifications with supporting evidence from either of the above sources together with photos. MSNZ emailed me back over a few weeks with a couple of questions, I assume from their Historic Committee. With the application I included a quick (2 pages) overview of the race history of the model, the Homologation history (because in 1973 Ford and BMW were engaged in a furious homologation war between the works BDA Escorts and Alpina's 2002Tii to win the European Touring Car 2 litre class) and anything else I thought relevant.

Within a few weeks the application came back, honestly as simple as that. Frankly I found the roll cage certification process to be much harder, partly because the rules changed mid build and because a certain well known race preparer and MSNZ technical officer's advice turned out to be totally incorrect.

Rather than get involved in more detail here, I am happy to show you copies of my application and supporting documents.
