Should these Door Latches Be Different?

[rklewis1005]

When I pulled the door catch or latch from inside the doors, the arms look different to me. Is that normal - or do I have mismatched parts? If they should be the same, which linkage/arms are correct for a 1970 Charger SE ? The drivers is on the Left and Pass on the right.

Thanks

I did find this thread that looks like someone modified one.
Driver Door Latch Modification - Anyone Done This?

Also this "For Sale" post that appears to show them different on each side like mine.
FOR SALE - Replated door latches from 69 b body

So maybe different levers on each side is "normal"?

I have a 1970 RH I took off. I can get it out later.

I recall that in 1970 they changed the door latches so the door could operate differently from inside. I'll check that operation later also.

Mine on my 70 Road Runner are different as well, but it's obvious that my driver door has been changed at some point as color is different under door card. I assume door latches should be the same.

Does anyone know of a plating place that will refinish them?
