More help needed with 41 woodie door latch

[41woodie]

So I bit the bullet and disassembled my rear passenger door latch trying to determine what was broken. It appears that the springs are intact but had managed to flip around past their correct resting spot so that they no longer produced resistance.
I put everything back into place and all is well except the locking lever has no resistance and will drop into the unlocked position when the handle is jiggled etc. The result is that I can lock the door from the inside but it will not stay locked. In desperation I disassembled the opposite latch and find that I'm missing a small piece that creates tension keeping the lock lever in the proper place.
I'm posting a series of photos that show the pieces being removed in order. The first photo shows a riveted washer and stud that everything is pivoted from. In the subsequent photos I removed each piece down to the spacer on the bottom. Resting on the spacer is what looks like but is not a wavy washer. It has three "detents" on it and they provide the tension necessary to hold the lock lever in it's proper place.
That piece is missing entirely from the faulty latch and searches on the usual websites, Drake, Carpenter, etc. have nothing similar.
Anyone have suggestions as to a source or might possibly have a junk right or left rear passenger door latch that may have the needed part? I am unsure what other years may utilize the same piece but if anyone knows of other years I would appreciate that info as it might make the search a bit easier instead of needing a piece that is specific to a 41

By looking at your first picture it looks like you didn't put tension on the spring behind the striker. Can you post another picture of the back side of the striker?

If you go to E-Bay Motors, log onto Woodie Station Wagons and there is a latch for sale. You can see how your springs should look.

You are correct, there was no tension at the time I had simply laid the pieces together for the photo. I reassembled the good latch this afternoon with all of the springs in the proper place and it still works just fine. Now to find the little dohickey to fix the other latch
