They can't be used interchangeably.

OK, that makes sense. It has been almost 40 years since playing with a '67 I had and I know I swapped out rear-ends in it a couple times, but those insulators you posted look familiar.
Here is a PDF for the '67 rear suspension and coil removal and it mentions the fitting of the spring in the pocket and rubber insulator -
