I'm working on a series of ID tutorials. IDing bodies, pans and transaxles. It will be explained there.

short answer: window size '65 and later
no flap for the gas fill '67 and earlier
can't see the door handle, but it looks like the 66 and earlier style.

Check for the body number upfront by the master cylinder. There should be plaque there. That's where mines at.
