1935 Roadster production order

[SUHRsc]

I have a '35 roadster that the VIN number appears like it would be a December '34 produced car.(I know that is not a tell tale sign) The back of the gauges are marked to have been produced in December '34 also. The body tag is in the mid 2000's so about half way through all '35 Roadster production. The number on the transmission matches the VIN so that all makes sense to have always been together.

My question is in the fact that my doors have the inside handles in the later position. Not all the way at the front.

The car appears to have been originally black, then Green and then the final color it is now which is similar to Tacoma Cream (not correct)

The doors have the same layers of paint as the body.

The car is in very good condition so I have no real reason to believe it to have been pieced together from a pile of various parts.

Were all of the Roadsters produced fairly early? So the inside door handle change would have possibly happened sooner then on the closed cars?

There is no X on the cowl side.

It's not that important really as I don't intend on restoring the car and having it judged. I am just interested in knowing the details.

Thanks for any input.
