Not without an incredible amount of modification. 1962 Beetles use "swing arm" suspension. The transmission has the axles attached through U-joints. At the wheel end, there is a spring plate with a hole in it for the axles to pass through. 1974 Beetles have "independent rear suspension." There is a constant-velocity joint on both ends of each axle, there's both the spring plate and a diagonal stiffener, and there's a bracket on the frame to hold the stiffener.

WILL SEATS FROM A 1974 BEETLE FIT IN A 1974 BEETLE?
Yes, since that's a tautology. Unless you mean "would additional seats fit in a vehicle without taking the original seats out first", in which case it would be a pretty tight fit, but you might be able to get them in the back. There isn't much room in the "trunk" (which in a '74 beetle is actually in the front), and I doubt you could get them in there.
