360 tow does not fit a 340 as the floor pan is different due to the spare wheel well in the 360

It really depends on who made the bar.
I've got a tow bar on my 1.4 has a middley bit, so it won't work on a 360/dizzler shell where the spare is in the boot. The Volvo/Tobo bar and the Westfalia ones fit either/or as they are only attached at the sides.

Its a larger bar running along the back of the valance with 2 arms that bolt through the chassis rails and a pair of plates mounted in the boot floor.
Theres a couple shoddy pictures in my for sale thread

I've got one that mounts to chassis rail using bumper bolts I think with a stabilizer bar under wheel well and one that mounts solely to wheel well floor. I don't like that one.

The patterns I have attach both to the bumper mounts and floor pan
