rear axle differentiation 120-130

I'm visiting in Florida and came across a fellow getting rida of a bunch of parts - moving, must dispose of.
Looking at the parts this fellow is disposing of, I found three rear ends.
3 early type (with the trailing arms that surround the axle) and one late - '68 and later with the hourglass bushings. All are 41:10 ratio. I'm looking for a backup for myself ('67 sedan with the oddball metal cylinder, press-in, expensive bushings) or to replace a friend's - '67 wagon (axle type unknown to me).
My questions are:
Can you swap out thelate, "hourglass" rear into a '67 by just swapping trailing arms, or are the mounts and distances different?
I know that wagon ratio is different, but otherwise can you fit what was presumably a '68 sedan rear into a '67 wagon?
thanks

This fellow also has for free to very cheap:
2 passanger front fenders/ 1 driver's side front fender/ 3 hoods, 2 truck lids,3 M40 transmissions - no M41, standard drive shafts, heads, 2 complete motors, some headrest front seats in not great shape, etc. etc.
thanks
Danny
