Yep, keyed lock just under the handle with a small (1/4" or smaller)
square drive to a deadlock on the handle mechanism. Vintage power
Wagons has the main door / deadlock I think, and the lock should be
standard as it appears to be the same as the ones on the Ambulances,
pickups, and anything else with a hard roof. Key should be the same as
the ignition and tailgate locks, but I can never remember the H number
(H X00 where one number is standard for jeep locks, one for Dodges, and
one for the rev counter locks on Diamond T and DUKW)

My Carryall is 8154-3909, but I cant date it exactly, and dont have
hood number or body tub number. I'd guess right at the end of '42 or
early '43 for mine.

Hope this helps - any other questions.
