Is it easy to fit these headlights to a 69 type 3?

They bolt straight in, you may just need to bend up the 2 mounting tabs in the top of the gaurd as sometimes on aus cars they were bent over flat.

They are not the best quality headlights with a pretty ordinary beam pattern and the vast majority of them coming out of Brazil and China have a left hand drive lense like the one in the pic so on low beam you blind all the on coming traffic.

not a good light... as Joel says
and LH headlamps dip the wrong way so are virtually useless...
not much reflector surface left..

I have these lights on my notch and wouldn't reccomend them either. If it's cold or they get wet they fog up for some reason(checked them for water leaks and can't see anywhere water could get in). Will change them for originals as soon as budget allows.
