it may be that that part was standard fare on many a ford and possibly on other manufacturers cars too. from what i gather, door latching parts were often outsourced in the 30's and 40's by Ford GM and Chrysler.

Hancock Manufacturing, Hurd Lock & Manufacturing, Briggs Manufacturing and Ternstedt were likely candidates.
 
That is a well worn piece! Your photo in post #2 looks like those are reproduction ones. It looks like you will have to drill the hole for the door handle pin.
 
you can get the whole shebang here. but the part you are looking for, i think, is riveted on. ...could be drilled out i suppose.

post #2 shows a couple of nice ones. i guess its just a pic and not associated with anything involving sales? and i think there is probably a hole for the handle pin on the side that is not shown in the pic.

thanks, I got a used one but didn't work on the '39, the door either opens and does not lock or locks and does not open, it internal mechanism is different. I wil have to adapt something if I can't get the correct one.
