It's my understnding, that 68-72 frames (2dr, HT&COnv) are interchangable? What about the mounting holes for the body? any difference with a BB?

You can use the convertible frame on a hardtop, but not a hardtop frame on a convertible unless you box the inside frame rails to compensate for the stresses of not having a roof to keep the car together. Either way all body mounts are there, and all engine mount holes, no difference between SB or BB.
