Well in this case you don't need \raisebox ;-). The standard
reference point of a graphic inserted with \includegraphics is at
the lower left corner of this graphic. 

textblock has an option argument which lets you decide which point
of the content should be placed at the specified location. You can
use is to tell textblock to use the standard reference point. So 

\begin{textblock}{144}[0,1](72,396)
...

should do what you want. 

Btw: I didn't follow the complete discussion but you perhaps need
the [absolute] option when loading textpos.
