There were 2 different, not interchangeable, styles of these door latches depending on who made the body.
There is the more common style with the notched corner and inserted nuts in the plate.
The other style has square corners all around and countersunk holes for all mounting holes.

If we knew what you had / needed it would help get you the correct one.
Maybe pictures would help?

Good luck finding those, they can be hard to find.
Hopefully someone out there has one for you.

That makes me happy, its about helping each other and putting more cars back on the road.
History is best taught with real live physical examples.
Plus they are just fun.

I was going to offer an extra I got in the trade but he needs the style you got.
