While someone here may have a pair of old bands (6.9in) for your steel 72s, they are still being manufactured and can be purchased in the vintage dive community. As an example, I offer:
Rick Green Steel 72 Bands. Please note that I am not specifically endorsing any product (I have no affiliation) but just want to point out that you can purchase new if you desire.

I ordered a set of tank bands from LP for a pair of AL 80 a long time ago. Then a while later ordered a set of bands for steel 72's (6.9 dia.) I also ordered manifolds for both. BTW the brand was OMS.
When I got the bands and manifold for the 72's they were the exact same as the bands/manifold they sold me for the AL 80's (7.25 dia.).
I assembled everything and they worked fine.
The bands on the 72's will sqeeze in further because of the smaller diameter, but the distance from post to post is the same.

I have three sets of double 72's all with 7.25'' OMS bands. I used them because I got a great deal on them. But you can also get 6.9'' bands from Piranha Dive Manufacturing

7.25 manifolds - They seem to work for both 6.9 and 7.25??? (with 7.25 bands)
Crazy but it works.

Panga Man:
What are you going to attach them to? I have several single bands for the smaller diameter tanks (I used them on AL 50s and Steel 72s), but with the older style back packs. Not sure how you would attach. If interested, I'll shoot a photo or two and pass along.

Just to be clear - a single band, holding two tanks. Also have one set of dual bands, but I am thinking I may be putting together my 72s again so I'll likely hold onto those...
