I believe the 75' Turbo, Weissach, and Carrera tail were all whaletails. But they differed somewhat in the venting. The 75' Turbo had a secondary vent. In 76' the secondary vent got larger for more heat dissapation. The Weissach tail doesn't have this vent because it produced less heat. Later on in 82' the whaletails started being made with one large vent that was flat like the tea tray spoiler. These I think are often refered to as Carrera tails. They also recieved a larger rubber surround area.

Not entirely correct, although you're right about the venting--I don't want the additional vent for my car. I just want it because it is significantly better looking than an '80s Carrera tail as I don't like any of the tails except on widebodies. See this page for excellent pics--the '75 Turbo spoiler actually came from the late RS, and was also seen on the 3.0 Carrera in lieu of the duck tail, which was banned in Germany:
