Default `65 Door pull ?

The door pulls in my `65 coupe are metal, like in later C2's, instead of plastic. Except for repro seat covers and a Hurst shifer, the rest of the interior is original. I'd always assumed that a previous owner had replaced them with the later pulls due to damage or maybe a preference for metal but I thought it might be worth asking. The car is a late build, July 15th. Does anyone know if the factory may have used `66 pulls at the end of production? I've seen similar things occur and was wondering if that were a possibility in this case.

Desertdawg- ask and ye shall recieve :)

I guess it is possible, I have never looked at many very late cars. Interesting fact is that the same handle is used from 69-76 except that it is used on the opposite sides. In other words a 65 LH is the same as a 69 RH.
