I don't think the "74 D-25" shown in the first few pics is a '74 D-25... First, it appears to be a matte finish. In '74, all D-25s would be high gloss. Second, that looks like a painted on Chesterfield on the head stock. A '74 D-25 should have a simple gold silk-screened GUILD logo on the headstock. Tuners are also wrong for a '74 D-25, but of course, tuners can be changed.
If it IS a '74 D-25, I would think it has been refinished and had the tuners swapped... but the painted Chesterfield just looks too clean for that, IMO.
