I was wondering if anybody knows anything about this???

Same guts as the 72 convertible, just a fast back body.

Did the convertible kit have a slightly different rear seat and interior panels to accommodate the folding top mechanism? (IIRC it's often referred to as a dog-leg or something like that).  I realize most people wouldn't notice but was curious as to what's in the two kits.

Yes, the convertible kits have a convertible interior w/ the convertible style side panels and narrowed backseat.  I'd assume the fastback will have a different interior bucket w/ wider backseat and parcel shelf, different interior side panels, etc.

Yes there are new coupe specific interior pieces included in the kit as well, not just a body crammed on the wrong interior set up.

Many old annuals/promos have convertible interiors. Usually ran those promos/kits first, then coupes. I think it was 64-65 before ht got their own interiors. 
Recent kits have specific interiors, easier to do with platform interiors like Olds, etc.

The Cutlass and 442 hardtop and coupes had a different seat pattern in '71 and '72 than what was used on the Cutlass Supreme-based convertible.  The '70 coupes, hardtops and convertibles shared an identical pattern different than what was used for '71 and '72.

Yeah, should have said based on the 72, not the same as.
