I'm thinking early 60s? Not sure, but definitely before 1968, they're 6 volt doors.

what does the outside door handle look like?
it is an early door as the 1/4 window upright is vertical...
its slanted in late model beetles [1968> Aust]
what does the door lock look like??
the part that locks onto the door jamb...
door could be 1956 > 1967
I've seen late doors on early bodies... lol
is that an XP -XM Falcon??

That's later than 1960. The exterior handles are wrong for an oval.
Roofracks are for plumbers!

Yup, was very early 60 that they swapped to push button in Aus.
Trendy, if it says 66 they stopped you're probably looking at overseas specs
Aus ran them till fat chicks started in 68.

Inside winder looks like a 54 only winder. Does it have a rib down the middle?

It's moving straight, low to the ground,

the 3 handles on the left match the bezel on the right and are too early for your car. still, they are worth more than the late ones and the late ones
are easy to get.

The window winder arms had a date stamp on them until at least the late 50's.

1st 3 are off a 54 or earlier, the forth is a mid 55 onwards.
I have spares of each kind. Left me know which way you want to go and I should be able to sort you out for a matching set.
