As I recall the M202 was MUCH preferred over the M72 LAAW due to range, better sights, and most importantly it had 4 shots and while I can't be 100% certain I'm fairly sure it had an AT round.
I can't say much other then that post about 1976ish I don't recall seeing the M202 around anymore, the fuel leakage problem you mention might well explain that.

In the 70's the anti-tank MOS still trained with the M20 Bazooka as part of their MOS school even tho they were "obsolete" and not used outside of the school because they were considered superior to the M72. I can't say for certain but I suspect that stopped with the introduction of the Dragon since that became the primary weapon of the anti-tank MOS.

I believe there was a plan to provide the capability to fire the same 66 mm HEAT round as the M72, but this was never actually done.
