37 Clock in a 36 Glove Box
 

As the title says, I have a 36 Glove Box with a 37 Clock installed. The hole cut in the glove box door is perfect. The install of the clock looks factory. Now, I assumed this was done by someone and of course , they did a very nice job. Then , low and behold a friend came up with the exact install done. Another 36 glove box door with a 37 clock installed. It was also a perfect job and the 37 clock was modified the exact way the one in the pic was . My question is, has anyone else out there heard of this ?? I have heard all the stories of Dealers back in the day doing anything they needed to to sell a car. I would guess if a customer wanted a clock in the glove box door, and a 36 clock was not available , the dealership would do what they needed to and get a clock put in the glove box even if it's a 37. 36 and 37 are fairly close in looks if you don't have them side by side to compare.
Any thought on this interesting topic ??

Or if you had a clock in your 36 that failed and wanted it replaced in 37 you could have had the 37 clock. The mounting holes appear to be in nearly identical positions. The 35 & 36 clocks mounting bracket have a larger hole between the two small holes for the screws. The larger hole is for the glove box lock. If the 35 or 36 had the lock the larger hole would have to be added to the 37 bracket

I think the cc between the holes for the handle is not the same,37 is a little wider.
