Unfortunately, I have 1972 & 1974 Vignelli mpas, but no 1973 copy,

There wasn't one. You have the 1972 map which was the first of the Vignelli versions. This was the last map to list the KK (6Av -Jamaica) and QJ.

The next map has a copyright of 1972 (2). The new schedules went into effect on December 31, 1972 which was a Sunday. As January 1 (Monday) was New Year's Day the full effect of the service changes did not take effect until Tuesday January 2. The QJ was replaced by the J and the KK was cut back to Eastern Parkway from Jamaica and became the K. Also the M was extended to Coney Island weekdays from about 6AM to 8 PM.
The A would now run express Brooklyn during rush hours. The E would now run local in Brooklyn and terminate at Euclid Avenue and Rockaway Park. No more E trains to Far Rock.

The next map was dated and was probably issued sometime after April 28, 1973 went the 3 Avenue El was discontinued .
