Tim...
yes, you can put the late windshield in your '64.  I believe that the
windshield shape never actually changed in the type 3 (others...am I
correct???).  I replaced the cracked windshield in '70 Square with the
one from my '68 Fastback parts car & it was the easiest windshield swap
I had ever done (vs. american cars).  The only difference you may
encounter should/could the be presence or lack of holding strips for the
headliner, under the windshield seal itself.  My Square didn't have
them, my Fastback did.  I left em' in place & swapped the seal & window
right in.  It was supposed to be temporary, as I didn't have any
winshield sealer at the time & I was goin' to take it back out & seal
it.  I didn't have to!  I made it all the way thru fall & winter without
any leaks.  What can I say... I'm lazy!!  I would recommend using the
sealer anyway, though!

Hope this helps...
