[DML] Door Oddity?

["Marv Hein" <marvhein@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

While attending a car show with the AZ-D this past weekend, I noticed 
that the doors on my car have plastic caps around the latches.

Dan Fox believes the plastic parts were introduced on the 1983 cars.  
Sure enough, of the 10 D's we had there, all 1981 and 1982 cars had 
metal parts.  The 1983 cars had plastic.

Here's my mystery.  I have 1982 VIN 10820 with plastic parts 
that "shouldn't be there."  

Dan's car is 100 behind me (10920) and has the "correct" metal parts. 
The parts have different numbers of screw holes, so it seems other 
parts of the door are different too.  Both cars were built in Dec. '81.

Any ideas on this curiousity?
