Do you know the difference between a 'normal' Beetle and a Superbug?
'Normal' Beetles have torsion bar front suspension. Look under the front and you'll see two thick round beams running parallel across the car, one
above the other. Their front boots are small and the spare tyre sits almost upright.
Superbugs have MacPherson strut front suspension. Look behind the front wheels and you'll see the struts with the coil springs on them. They have a
'bulgy' nose with a larger front boot, and the spare tyre sits flat (horizontal). There are two types of Superbug - the 'S' with a flat windscreen
(1971-72) and the 'L' with a curvy windscreen (1973-75). The yellow one above is a Superbug L, as Matt has said. From the tiny photo, it looks like
the tan one is a Superbug S - the windscreen looks flat and the nose looks 'bulgy' to me.
If you're looking for a '71-75' Beetle, Superbugs had better brakes, suspension and a bigger engine than the 'normal' 1300 Beetle of the same
period.

Honey brown one is an Sbug as phil said
That wattle Lbug has been on ebay for several months, obviously not worth the asking price
If you can;t pick the difference from those pics I dunno why you're being fussy.
As Phil said the superbugs have better front and rear suspension, better brakes and bigger engine.

Basically you would be best to start with a 1967 or earlier Beetle to make a rod.
What do you want to do? Will it pass engineering? Have you spoken to an engineer? What is your budget? $20K plus?
