In RLW V5 N24 dd 7-9-1974, on page 9, there is a story about Brian Milthorpe. In it, it states that the belated withdrawal of several top stars from the Illawarra side to play Canterbury in the AMCO Cup game gave Milthorpe a second chance to don the coveted red guernsey. So, we can add Milthorpe to the list of players for Illawarra, though I do not know who dropped out or if he was just a replacement.

There's a little bit of footage here from this game (right at the start):

For Canterbury, I could see 1-13 numbers there, for Wests, I could see all but no. 1 for Dorahy & 16 for Giteau BUT there was a number 3 which I am pretty sure is Giteau (see about 13 second mark to start with)

You have Phil Doherty as having played this game. He pulled out as stated in Illawarra Mercury dd 19-6-1974 & replaced by Brian Gardiner.

Tony Branson came on as a replacement - see Illawarra Mercury dated 20-6-1974.

Warwick Shirlaw was captain for Illawarra instead of Ron Costello as listed in the Daily Mirror 19-6-1974.

Mark Hughes came on as a replacement for Canterbury - see RLW V5 N14 dd 29-6-1974

Scrums: Canterbury 10-7. Penalties Illawarra 11-5. (see RLW)
