Does anyone know if a 1972 3 speed wiper motor wires will work on a 1970?

I am well aware of the plug and play interchange between wiper motors considering body styles, years, and wiper styles... But, I am unable to find a reasonably priced PN 2983116 wiper motor that is in good shape...

The reason I need one is someone cut the harness off of mine and left the motor in place... The 3 speed wires are not pluggable and are soldered/hardwired into it...

I have read that there is a difference in the 72 motor vs 70 on a Dart, mechanically, but what if I cut the wires off a 72 and spliced them onto my current system?

Are they the same electronically????

the motors are the same except for the part numbers on the barrel. the dash switch determines if variable speed or 3 speed. I had several of mine rebuilt 6 years ago for $300 each and the barrels were clean enough to be replated. worth the money in my opinion.
