just ran across these looks like someone is repoping sport gauge cluster housings!

Well hell, that's a nice option that came out of nowhere. Picture is kinda fuzzy, though. If somebody pulls the trigger on this, please share what the quality is like.

Is the 73-79 a mistake or are the 72's different?

Like Rock says above, looks like a 74-76. 1972-73 were different from the later clusters. See photo below: And the two topics are now merged into one. Glad I figure out how to do that.... |

Are the plastic housings actually different, or are the differences only in the harness, printed circuit and gauge?

If you look at the photo comparing the three styles that I posted above, it looks like the upper left corners are different too. I know there are some other differences, but I would think you'd be able to make a later cluster work in an early car. It'd likely just need some minor modifications.
