RootLieb makes a very exacting reproduction of the very scarce originals. 95% of what you see out there are reproductions. Reproductions began showing up about 1970 (Casio). Several of today's suppliers still carry the Rootlieb reproductions, so they are readily available today. Bert's has them listed in their 2014 catalog, page 82, $775 for '28-'29 and $810 for '30-'31. Sacramento Vintage Ford has been carrying the 3-door hood since Rootlieb began reproducing them 30 years ago (they continue to produce them today).

On a side note, it should be noted that when the hoods that had doors rather than louvers on their factory cars (up-scale marques) they were always painted, not chromed. The doors were either body color or trim color. The 1932 Chevrolet was the only exception I am aware of. Even the accessory Ford 3-door hood had it's doors painted, not chromed. Many in the early days did like to chrome their doors, so as to emulate the 'dazzle' of the '32 Chevrolet. Today's Model A's users seemed to have elected to follow that idea as it better 'high lights' their uniqueness.

The door's knobs vary depending on manufacturer. On my hood they are a round 'button' with serrated edging, chrome. On my '32 Pontiac, the opening 'knob' was a finger which allowed better grasping and control of the door. As your hood is 95% likely to be a later (after 1970) reproduction of the original, there really is no 'correct' knob. Anything that looks fairly decent and vintage will do; although all that I have seen have been chrome plated.
