    I believe it was said the 125mm rod was only for the 74 250MAG and the 1975 250GP was likely when it went to 135mm

    I thought so too but then it was said the 76 250WR also had the shorter rod.

    As I recall from a Dirt Bike test from the day when they tested both the 1976 250CR and WR the only difference between them was the fuel tanks, ignitions, and transmission ratios. While it is well known that the WRs were always 1 year behind the CRs I would not believe there would be different connecting rods between them.

    I have no idea. Surely someone knows what year the change happened.
