I'm glad to see that someone offers 914 tool kits. In this case, AA offers them. They have one for 70-72:

And 73-76:

Mine is an early 73 (662). A different source shows the following for early 73:

http://www.p914.com/p914_tools_kit-73_early.htm

The latter includes a towing eye, hubcap removal tool, and spark plug tool. AA's kit doesn't have this, though the towing eye is sold separately. Although this site says that not all early cars had the white screwdriver handle, the shape in the pic appears like the AA 70-72 kit. So I'm left wondering, which is accurate? My car only has the tommy bar and lug wrench.

I have the black handled screw driver, but like Mark said, it isn't like the one in the AA kit.

I bought the AA black plastic bag since I never had one. I've never seen an original in person, but they look shinier in pics than the AA bag. The AA bag also doesn't have the holes which is acknowledged in the description, but it was good enough for my purposes.

You can still find most of the pieces for the late kit except for the bag on ebay fairly cheap.

Did exactly the same and agree completely.
