I think Lawrence pegged it but the problem is, as he pointed out, the control panel design from 1973-1976 hardly changed at all. The plastic retainer ring did start in 73, earlier for the commercial models. I'd bet it's the model # WWA-8300 from the 1975 line on the page below reposted from Lawrence's collection. That model is a single-speed washer with no mini-basket. The dryer is a fancier model.
If they had a shot that showed the bottom of that Activator and we could see 4 straight vanes instead of 8, we could date in more precisely; those showed up in 1976.
What confuses me the most is that edged coppertone was supposed to have been discontinued by 1972; hard to argue with a photograph.
Whatever, it's a nice basic late Filter-Flo set and I do love edged coppertone.
