I am pretty certain those toasters are hot ones given the era.

Thanks Melissa. If I am not mistaken the hot toasters have 4 Phillips head screws in the corners holding them together, and the scatter-wounds have slotted screws.

I believe you are correct. My 360V64 had hot toasters.

So does mine.

I need to do a comparison of those hot toasters to the toasters in my '67 330.

Interesting.... Just looked at my V64 again, and the neck toaster has slotted screws in the corners, and the bridge toaster has phillips screws. Is it possible I have one of each? Maybe a past owner has swapped out a hot toaster for a scatterwound one at the neck....

I am not sure 100% but this is what I have read here somewhere. As usual there probably are no absolutes. Measuring the resistance would be the accurate way to tell.
