The 71 -74 BBodies use two hooks near the rear window (see foto). Do our Abodies have the same thing? Thank you.

My 69 fastback has them. You start the install at the rear and the hooks hold the arch of the bow in the upright position and set the tension and distance for the first section of the headliner
 
Yep all 62-74 A, B and E cars with cloth headliner has them. They hold the rear bow so the liner can be drawn tight to the front. Different ones for different cars though.
 
Every cloth headliner I have ever done had those. Otherwise, you would not be able to make the headliner tight front to back and keep the headliner rods properly aligned.
 
Also how you show them in your picture is not how they are installed. The point of the hook goes into the hole, not hooked into the hole. Squeeze to remove.
My 64 Dart has them as well as my 68 Valiant, my 70 Dart, my 72 Dart, my three 71 Darts, my 71 Duster.
My 65 Dart convertible does not have them, well because it's a convertible.
My 73 Scamp does not have them because it has a hard board liner.
