They should both be perfectly fine for your '73. All of them will 
have the Bosch number, but only those that came thru the VW network 
will also have the VW number.

Measure resistance between the 2 outer terminals and between the 2 
inner terminals. One of those should read ~300 Ohms and the other 
should be ~90 Ohms. Resistance between any pin and the housing should 
be infinity (OL on a Fluke.)

I'm potentially interested, depending on the price. PM me.
