Default 70-72 Trunk Lid Differences?

Are there any noticable differences in the 70-72 trunk lids? I know as for fit they are interchangable but what about appearance? Thanks....

maybe different badges, but they all fit with each other.

There are several different inner structures on the trunk lids.

X2 on the different inner structure. I know '70 has some punched holes for the spoiler that were later removed! Would post a picture, but just sold my '70 decklid.

Hi Norm, My 72 has 2 holes added for the "Ducktail Spoiler". Below are pictures of mine compared to Loffen's 71. Also, Good news Roseland (Pontiac) Motor Sales is still in business.

Some trunklids have the "Pontiac" emblem in the middle. I believe each year used different emblems or maybe 70/71s were the same. 72 is different and thus the holes are different.
