Default Victoria & Cabriolet Latch

I was looking at a MAC's Catalog and found a repo door latch for a 32.
18-811851-R and L. They look like the 68 and 190 latches. Did the 32 use the same latch and remote pivot (different arm lengths of course)? I wonder if these are made in USA and the parts can be interchanged?

the 32 door latches are almost the same and can be used in almost all model A slant window cars, and some 34 mopar cars used the same latch. the arms and remotes are different. and the 32 has the lock as part of the latch not in the handle like a Model A, I just cut that part off.

That's brave for a 217.00 part.
