Thanks, both cars had matching window cranks and there was no evidence that either had been changed. That one seemed to be a cheep reproduction similar to the cranks in a 74 bug I had many years age.

There are actually only two window cranks shown in the picture, the far right is the cover for the middle. I am holding the cover off of the left crank.

Is the one on the left original equipment?
