As i continue my quest for correct 914 info prior to the start of my restoration, this one is puzzling me. What is the correct alignment of the door handle aperture with the corresponding one on the rear quarter.?

Here is two pictures of an original 21,000 mile six that is advertised for sale at the moment. Should the bottom line up or the top.? Looks a little odd to me, are the two indentations not the same size from factory ? Your experienced thoughts please gents.

Many thanks
Dave

Looks like the right picture is missing the rubber under the handle.
