The top photo in Nicholas response is one of my handles, I believe a 67 handle.

Correct, the way they lock is different. The earlier handles (56-63) the actual lock cylinder locks to the handle, the latch has no lock on it, where the later ones (64-67) the lock cylinder turns and locks the latch itself.
