372-012 would be the third car built.
010 the works test car later run in F3 by Sutcliffe
011 the first FB run by McConnell in New Zealand
GRD were incredibly good at telling the press when they sold cars [even when they hadn't!] and going through Autosport the earliest announced orders are
Gilhorn [January]
Hanspeter Hoffmann [Feb]
Rolf Zumstein [Feb] These two would be the Vonlanthen cars.
Reystan for Kazu Kuwajima [March]
Reystan for Riccardo Achcar [a 272 probably never delivered][March]
Martin Watson [FB March]
Keichi Tahara [a works car] [April, don't think he ever drove it]
Marcello Gallo [April]
Fernando Spreafico [April]
McConnell also ordered a new B72 for the Canadian season with the intention of taking this with his older car which was intended for Jacques Couture. Don't know if this happened or whether Watson ended up with chassis 010.
On the basis of this timing I'd say there was a good chance of 012 being the Gilhorn car if it has some Swedish history.
