There will be internal differences in 727 automatics from one application to
another that may or may not be important.

 The 360 trans should not physically match/bolt up to a R/RB block either.

The 360 B/RB flex plates and converters will not swap. The 360 should be an
externally balanced engine and the B/RB engines you mention are internally
balanced so converter/flex plate combo must match engine. This situation I
have seen mixed up by supposed professional shops.

A lockup converter was used with the 904 trans and  is much more common
behind a 360 than is a 727. One model designation is 999 when so equipped.
The 904 and it's derivatives are Torqueflites but  definately not  727's. I
may be corrected but, to the best of my knowledge, the 727 did not have any
application with the lockup converter gadget (at least until it became a
computer controlled 4 speed overdrive).
