Hi all 
I just bought a T1 from Turkey,
According to chasis number it is made in 1952 (chasis number starting
20035----)
But, some changes happened in the past I think.
I need your experience

| The nose and rear look like they have been replaced with post barndoor parts, but I'm no expert. |

I don't see a single thing on the bus that makes me think it's an updated/ modified barndoor

You are right and I saw the hinge too but then saw the fuel gauge and was looking at the dog legs and rear wheel wells and got all mixed up. 
High hinge went into the early 61 (model year) though, if we want to get super anal
It definitely has a mixture of parts...
