Was there any policy (as opposed to rhetoric) difference between Nixon and McGovern besides when they wanted to withdrawn from Vietnam and amnesty?

Um, of course. McGovern was ultraliberal.

Meanwhile, Nixon was a combination of Eisenhower & Reagan. A solid conservative but not "hard right".

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

tough choice.
Nixon was pretty great in terms of policy ... if you ignore wage and price controls, civil liberties, and Indochina. 
McGovern was a patriot in the old sense of the term and not the "acid & abortion" commie some of his more radical supporters were seeking.  But he was still too far left to unite the country and his Vietnam policy may have been unwise even if not as directly atrocious as Nixon's.

Leaving abortion to the states is "ultraliberal"?

That's just one position. Also, being "pro-chocie" was very controversial in 1972. Even, Demcorats were divided on abortion back then.

George McGovern was very liberal. That's not even up for debate.

Can you name any of these "very liberal" views he had?

"The eventual platform was probably the most liberal one ever adopted by a major party in the United States. It advocated an immediate withdrawal from Vietnam, amnesty for war resisters, the abolition of the draft, a guaranteed job for all Americans and a guaranteed family income well above the poverty line."
