Yup...
The doors slope on the trailing edge: only happened on the 80's
The windscreen has stays for a wire pivot half-way up the door-top - the
later 86/88's had a pin lower down.
The bumper clamps onto the dumb-irons, so it's a later 80" (early 49's
had tabs on the chassis that bolted onto the bumper - which is what I have)
