Aaron has by far the fewest at bats (AB) but the second most home runs (HR) 1971-1973. All five batters are in the National League (NL) so to compare you can just get a ratio between AB and HR. Aaron should lead.
Notice the ages. Aaron is older by six to 14 years.
The Braves moved from Milwaukee to Atlanta in 1966 where Aaron played in a home park more conducive to HR hitting than his previous park. Here are the top HR hitters 1966-1973.

Aaron has by far the most HR but the fourth most AB, exceeded by the two Cubs and one Red Sox. Reggie Jackson had 189 HR and Willie Mays 155 during those seasons. Aaron is at least two years older than any of the ten other batters with at least 200 HR 1966-1973.
