Hi,
If you're referring to the metal rear 1/4 panels, then Notchback are completely different to the fastback/ squareback panels. See this thread

The interior rear trim panels are similar between the fastback and notchback but not the same, but could be made to fit if you're not fussed about being 100% correct.

Fasty and square are the same notch are on their own, Doors can be an issue too

yep. I also suspect heater channels to be a unique type for the notch as well. but not 100% sure yet.

Fairly sure heater channels are the same for notch, square and fastback, no reason for them to alter between body styles.

my notch heater channels are trapezoid shaped where all other type 3 I have owned have square shaped ones.
Don't know why but it does?
