So, I got to looking at these pictures & came up with this. All 68 Darts came with black plastic door handle buttons. They changed to chrome in 69 & onward.
If you look at both Larry & Melvin's doors, both 70 cars appear to have black door buttons. So either they're original LO's or the doors came off an LO. But I do believe Larry's is his original 68 that was converted back when it was restored black.

I've been paying particular close attention to 70 & up Darts that might have had some surgery done on the tails lately.
