Are the door latch for a 67 the same as 68?

I just received a pair of door latched from GroundUp today for my 68. They sent me a 68 left side and a 67 right side :mad: . The 67 latch looks no different than the 68, but is it?

I believe they changed door latch between 67 and 68 for the removal of the vent window. The part of the bracket on the door latch where it meets the outside door handle rod is shorter on the 68 then the 67. My vin is 75th car built in 68 and it had a 67 in the drivers door and 68 in the passenger door( I am not sure if this came from the factory). When the driver window was half way down I could not open the door from the inside door handle becasue the longer part of the bracket(67) was hitting the window and would not release the door latch. I roll the window up or down and the door would open. I switched the door latch to a 68 and the problem went away.
