Some of them are, but 1973 is the year VW changed to the curved windshield in the Supers so some of them are NOT.
No. 1971 and 1972 Supers used different body parts than 1973 thru 1975 Supers.
The 1975 regular Beetle windshield will fit the 1971 Super Beetle.
Most of the parts for old classic Beetles are still easy to find and relatively inexpensive.
If you look at the front suspension of any beetle you can tell if it is a super or non-super beetle. If there is a McPherson front suspension then it is a super beetle. If there is a torsion bar front suspension then it is a non-super beetle.
The super beetle was not put into production until 1971, there is no such vehicle as a 1964 super beetle.

Just the shock: Standard Beetle Shock inside huge coil spring: Super Beetle d. Front apron - the piece of sheet metal below the front lip of the trunk lid No vent slots: Standard Beetle Vent slots: Super Beetle (Having said that, when Supers were still being made, some of the aftermarket body-parts companies made slot-free Super Beetle aprons.
