So that is a very tricky question because depending on when/where your car was made it could have many differences. The main one is the smokers window that's '34 only. But there are crossover like early '34 handles and mechanism are at the front of the door like a '33. I have found some '33 and '34 doors on a Tudor have aslightly different shape and don't fit each other very well. A great book to find all this out is the model 40 book. I read it alot just to figure my car out.

with the "smokers window" as mentioned above or "vent window position", the window glass (due to the different window regulators 33 to 34) moves rearward before going down in the door. So the 34 door window opening should have an additional piece at the rear of the opening that covers the entire rear edge of the glass when the window is rolled up and ford ward, closing the "vent". This extra piece of metal is part of the door.

A few pics of differences talked about above . First pic is early 33 and note the way different inner panel . This type takes 32 style window regulators with the standoff nuts . Pics 2 & 3 are normal 33 and the last 2 pics are 34 with the inside handle in the center . The lip in the rear of the 34 window opening is for ventilation and is 34 only . Early 34 doors have the lip also but the handle is is front like 33 .
