The parts for these are available reproduced. Originals have a tendency to "embrittle" between the top and the part pressed into the vertical shaft.
Pot metal.
For the handle to right side version, one can see the assembly of these looking at the usual vendor pix. Below see the lever complete. Important things for re-assembly would be the top button and rod (small pin holds these together), the spring below the button, the orientation of the ratchet part compared to the handle "top" below the button, and the orientation of the bolt holding it together.
Note the top of the handle (where the button is pushed into) is made from a single piece of metal "crimped" over a matching tang on the vertical. Very obviously Ford's constant quest for economy in construction. He probably made the top piece out of a trimmed piece removed from the bottom cut-out of the handle.
Most all these parts are reproduced - or you can buy a nearly as original repop of the entire handle - the quality is pretty good actually.
