From the "Age Guide" top left on your screen.....the wheels are pre-77'.

@Craig or @1buckie could tell you more.

They don't have the word "Weber"......."cut into the whitewall that is seen on basic Weber kettles today is in use by this time".

Nice grab.....I have a nice "E" Code with the same sidecar setup.....no table came along with it....
There IS, however, a cover that has a cutout where the cutting board sticks out.....my thought is either the original person wanted the cutting board or it got toasted from the weather while the rest of the kettle stayed relatively decent...... :o 8)
"If you want it fancy there is BBQ spray paint at home depot for that. "

Those are '73-'76 era plastics. Large bowl turn tabs, '75-'76...

...and another first-see for me- that side table thing. Lol. So many accessories over the years. Gotta love it.
