Yes, they were indentical
This is a relatively easy endeavor. Simply tie a steel cable abound the rear bumper and the other end to a telephone pole. Put the car in drive and floor it. The bumper will rip off allowing much easier access to the bumpuer cover. Next use a sawsall and hack off the bumper cover. Presto, you are done.
yes, but the brake light configuration will be different. 70 look like "l l l l" 71 look like "= =" 72 look like "=="
the bumper jack goes under the back bumper, there might be slots on each side of the rear bumper to put the jack into.

how to remove 2013 passat rear bumper
The rear bumper is held in place with eight retaining bolts. Remove the retaining bolts and the rear bumper will come off. Reverse the process to install your new rear bumper.
Looking at the bumper, you will see raised, chrome, dome shaped, bumps. These are actually bolts, with a nut on the back sides. Then, it will just lift off.
Removing the Rear Bumper of a Passat...
It will bolt right on. You WILL need a headlight wiring harness from a 1970 as well since the '70 has 4 headlights instead of two like the 1972 does. A friend of mine did it. You cange the whole front (fenders hood grille etc.) and throw a 1970 rear bumper on and your 72 is now a 70. Your friend changed more parts than he needed to. The fenders and hood are identical from 1970-1972. The only body parts that are different are the headlight buckets, grille, and bumpers. Now you certainly can change everything, but it's not necessary.
Yes it will fit, the only different between these two cars is the design of the front and rear bumper, and they are fittable to each other.
