I own a 70 340 Duster on the deck lid and hood are Plymouth emblems with Valiant Duster 340 on the fenders. My friends got a 70 Swinger 340. Shouldn't it have Dodge emblem's on the hood and deck lid and Dart Swinger emblems on the quarter panels. His car has Dodge in the front middle of the hood lip but on the deck lid is another Dart and Swinger emblem. It doesn't look to be correct to me anyways. What would be correct for his car?
 
I think 70 & 71 had the swinger emblem on the quarters and it was moved to the fenders in 72. I believe the 70 & 71 had a dart emblem and swinger emblem on the trunk lid passenger side. 72 up only had the dodge emblem on the rear.
My memory sucks so wait for someone else to chime in and confirm.
Also, yours is correct to have the valiant badge on the 70 duster. The valiant name was dropped for 71.

Ok,here is what I know.. The 70 Dart Swinger 340 cars have a Dodge Script on the hood and has Dart and Swinger emblems on the both quarter panels near back windows area and a Swinger emblem and Dart emblem on the trunk( only H code 340 Swinger cars had these 2 emblems on trunk lid). Hope that helps..
