Window sweeps and fuzzies

Are they the same thing for a '72 Supreme?

72 Supreme as compared to what?
70-72 Supreme hardtop would all use the same window felt unless the car came with the B85 trim option. The outer felts are are specific to the B85 trim. Convertibles and holiday coupes used different rear window felts than supreme hardtops. Again with B85 cars being different on those models as well. Hopefully this answer your question.

Technically, they are called "Strip, Front (or Rear) Door Window-Glass Run Horizontal (Felt)", both Inner and Outer. You can find them in Parts Book Group 10.710 for the front doors, 10.774 for the back doors, and 11.015 for the rear quarter windows on two-door cars. Given that the official factory name is a bit of a mouthful, the aftermarket has taken to calling them "sweeps", "fuzzies", and "window felts".

Sorry for the confusion. I meant are "window fuzzies" and "window sweeps" the same thing, just different terminology?

So they're all the same thing, just different names?

Also, are they different whether it has the B85 belt line trim or not?

The B85 felts sit flush at the top edge of the trim and do not hang over the edge like the non B85 felts that have a chrome bead and rubber edge that hang over the top of the door.
