I was surprised at this, but I see that you are correct. We have one
part fits both up thru 67, then separate L & R for 68-70, and back to
one part fits both for the final years.

I don't think it gets much mention in the manuals. I don't really
think it did anything unless the cars was heavily loaded. It is
possible that it was only available (as an option ??) in the squares.
Yes, I believe swing axle only.
