Hello, those vent wings are not for a 55 bug. The one on the right with the latch is for a 65-67 beetle. The one on the left is for 68-77 beetle. If you go to my post in oval window section, restoration of a 54 bug, you wil see one pic of some oct 52-55 vent wing assy's. Hope this helps you out. Also the division bars are different than the 56-64 style.

Thanks,

Ruben

Neither one is even close--the one without the latch is '68 and later, the one with the latch is '65-'67.

scott those are them but the bottom clamp pieces can be a pain to find.
the latches themselves generally are fairly easy to pick up
