The photo that I see in Mike's original post shows the outside door handle with the tail of the handle pointed up. The way that Ford installed them is with the tail of the handle pointed DOWN. Ray, Go back and look at some factory photos again. I think your observation is incorrect. "The Ford Model A as Henry Built It" has many examples showing the tail of the scroll outside handles with the tail end pointed down.
The only factory photo that I've ever seen with the tail end of the handle pointed UP, is the photo of the Early 1928 Prototype Fordor that has the celluloid visor and cowl vent.
