does anyone know if these were the same?

There are slight differences, but they're the same basic carb. One advantage to the '71 carb is that it's got the ported vacuum connection if you ever wanted to go with a non-USA vacuum advance distributor. Just did this on my '71 FJ40 - big difference in performance.
