They should be the same? What differences are you noticing?

The only difference would be the bolt pattern along the top where it bolts to the windshield frame. There were different patterns for vacuum vs. electric wipers.

You could have an aftermarket top as well. The most commonly known is the Kelley top.

Pretty sure there are some other differences for 66s. Of course the lift gate handle, but I think there are others. Specifically there are some holes in the rear bottom corners and the reinforcement ribbings on the underside of the top.

Bolt in bows, rear stake pocket anchor points, hold down hardware are a few more of the main ones. But the biggest most known difference would be the lift gate lock and separate handle.
