Looks like an LX RTS front end to me

Steering rack looks rubber bushed so LX
Also, upper control arms aren't UC

It's not from a UC, and it's not from an A9X, so best guess is as above, I'd say it's a 6/8 cyl LX RTS K-member, which dates it within the last year of LX production, after about Feb '77
If you measure from the top mounting surface to the centre of the UCA pivot it should be 65mm...

It's not an RTS front.
The LH/LX UCA mounting holes looks to be 45mm down from the top which would make it a '76 model year because it has the steering coupling shroud.
In one of the photos, I can see the build date on the steering rack..7 76.
