Great info here.  I see some Mac 370PG is the same 76LG on eBay.  The (affordable) search begins.

I just looked at that Mac 370 chain it's not a match to the 76LG. It's 3/8 LoPro equal to the Stihl Picco or Oregon 91 series.

You looking at same chain as me?  Mcculloch 370PG looks just like oregon 76lg in these pics. http://www.ebay.com/itm/McCulloch-370PG-Pro-Guard-3-8-Pitch-050-Chisel-Chainsaw-Chain-Oregon-76LG-76E-/221670755289?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item339c9b4bd9

That is the one I saw.  My confidence was wavering.

But, it looks very much like the current style I am running.

@Philbert  you must have missed this thread .  I was the one sending the 76 and 33 up to Holmentree.

When installing 72 -75 LP/LG cutters on a 76LG chassis you can reuse the 76 presets with no problems.
Remove the 76 cutters on your chain breaker with the punch exactly dead center on the rivet. Alternate back and forth on both rivets pressing half ways to avoid bending both the preset side link and rivet.
When spinning the full size cutter onto the 76 preset use the smallest anvils (.250) on your spinner. Makes a nice clean smaller round rivet head that doesn't need reducing.
You'll need a 7/32" or smaller 1/4" socket and small hammer to get the cutters onto the presets.

Just saving some pics of old oregon 72 I picked up.
