[Fot] Group 44 Spitfire?

[Michael Deweerd]

Are the doors different? Seems the one picture is a different door handle
than the  other picture or am I seeing things ?  Is there any history of
the drivers door being changed on a group 44 spitfire??  Either way group
44 or not it’s a cool find
Cheers all
Mike
