So I remain puzzled.
The part numbers for the 2 inner protrusions are:
Left: 311 837 205F
Right: 311 837 206F
(There were also B & E versions for both L & R.)
You wouldn't feel like pulling off a door handle and comparing
numbers, would you? ;-) The numbers are molded into the visible
face of those parts, right around the screw head that holds them in
place.
And, yes, except for that inner protrusion, everything's identical
for '68-'71, and '72-3 are also the same except for the 2-finger
triggers.
Jim, sorry I hadn't gotten back to you on this, but things came up.
Today I did get a chance to pull the handles (yes I pulled both sides
looking for those numbers), and didn't find anything except part of the casting
number on the inside indent of the handle itself (other than the key cut
number). And of that casting number, I could just barely read (with my
glasses on, and using a magnifying glass) 111/113/311. I couldn't make out the
rest, as it looks like it was either ground off, or it was barely there when
originally cast. Where you were describing, is completely ground smooth,
and chrome plated, unless I'm missing something. But putting them side by
side, they sure look identical. But apparently, the handle castings are the
same as used in a bug, but the inside parts are different.
