This is Design 71250 per the rainlap diagram on the rear of top left Panel A1 of the full size 21'x10' billboard version.
I've dated it to 1972 based upon the number "2" as the 3rd digit in the numbering system, but that's pure speculation. Their system changed from very simple to very obscure in the later years (69-x, 70-x, 71-x, 711xx, 712xx, 73xx, etc.) until some didn't even have numbers at all toward the end.
This is a screen grab of the cleaned up image that appears in the billboard next door in my Photostream.

21'x10' billboard versions were offered in a crudely assembled letter sized poster offer hawking the last of the UnCola billboards remaining from this 1977 poster offer:
