The Ford Barn

I've got a '37 Coupe that I'll be restoring and was going through my parts to see what I had for it. I have an NOS deck lid handle from a coupe, and another used from a humpback. Both are stamped stainless. Then I came across this one, nearly identical to the others I have, except it is a solid cast piece. There is also a minor difference in depth of the rod and cup, but fairly insignificant.

Is this a late/early piece, or maybe some aftermarket one? '37s are unique to the year as far as I know, so I'm at a loss on this one. Can anyone help?
