The difference in shape is subtle, but would be clear if you had a true 69-72 seat next to them. The seat back is more rounded on top than these. Also, the seat covers are definitely not the earlier style, '73 up had that emblem in the center of the seat backs.

I've heard that you can put the earlier seat covers on these with minor foam trimming. But the driver seat track will not line up with the factory holes if I remember, the passenger seat track/tilt will work.
