Different latches Different doors Outside is the same. Which is which? Early and late 26?

The body parts list issued in March 1927 shows 5680BX for '26-27 cars. The new repros have that number and look like the smaller one and also look like the '22-25 "locks" which are 5680ARX. My guess is they are an improvement made later in the year. They certainly resemble the Model A latches.

Thanks Rich. I missed that. Luck I had a good latch that I needed. Early and late changes can drive you nuts if you let it.

The door with the small holes are from an early '26 roadster. Mine dates from October 1925.

Thank you Will. I suspected as much. Thank you

I see both kinds of doors on Ebay. It's about half and half out of a dozen. Your first door photo shows 3 recessed indentations at the top. I haven't seen any like that. Perhaps it is a very late change.
