Looking at the pics again I just remembered an issue we had when swapping motor in my brother's '74. The flange isn't different, I think there is a ring that sits down into the flange. The rings may be stuck in the exhaust manifolds. Just pop them out and the exhaust should fit up. We had to pop the ring out of one side when we did our swap. The first picture is the pipes without the ring and the second picture is the pipe with the ring sitting in them. If the exhaust isn't fitting together try looking into the exhaust manifold and see if the rings are stuck in there.
