Thx Wally,
I suspect you're correct. The more I think about it the push button
door handles probably indicate it's later than I thought. I just checked
the plate on our 49 and it was painted over by a previous owner. I
took the two clutch head screws out and am soaking it in mineral spirits
now, hoping to get the paint off without destroying the original printing.
