Probably not in this case. The 11 of us voted ourselves a hefty

*Cherokee 180 in the year between the 180D and the Arrow.

Actually the Challenger is only the 1973 model year.

I fly a '71 Cherokee 180F, and it still has the short fuselage as the
60s models. The '72 180G is the same.

The big deltas in the Cherokee line are as follows:

1963? :Introduction of Cherokee 180
1968: Cherokee 180: Added 3rd side windows and standard T+2 panel
layout
1973: Challenger: ~5" Fuselage extension between front/rear seats
1974: Archer I: ?
1976: Archer II: New longer tapered wing
Late 90's: Archer III: New cowling and redesigned instrument panel
