I searched, but couldn't find anything. My early 57' deluxe has the "stepped" escushions on the front doors. Are the cargo door escushions supposed to be that early style as well- or the flat chromed ones? Thanks-

Some stuff I noticed... if you're ever picking through parts at a swap meet.
Wolfsburg West left : NOS right
44.6mm OD : 44.4mm OD (not that you'll have your calipers on you)
18.1mm ID : 18.7mm ID
Same overall height
WW part has a clean sharp edge, original has a little bakelite flashing
WW part has raised surface (ring) at top, original doesn't
Plastic is less shiny and not as deep of a black as bakelite.
Original had a number by one of the cone points.
WW has visible injection mold circles between cone points.
WW has flat annular area on underside, adjacent to inner hole... original doesn't.
