The 68 seat has the seat back release lever towards the bottom of the seat back and the 69 seat has the seat back release lever towards the top of the seat back. 70 and up have a button in the middle top of the seat back.
Other than the lever position, both seats are similiar between 68-69.

Hi

most 68 have no headrest.
69 headrests are standard.
