They are different because they mount to different places on the frame and on the axle. If you are swapping the complete axle assembly just cut the mounting tab from your old axle and weld it to your new one. Then you can use all of your original stuff. The 71-72 has a bracket that is bolted onto the diff cover, but the hose goes to a different spot on the frame. I'll see if I can find some pictures to clarify.
