Looking at the Moss Catalog and doing some research, it would appear that
TR3's had "budget lock" or dzus type lock to hold the boot lid down up until
TS22013.
My car is TS21491 and has the T handle and no dzus fasteners or "budget
locks". While it is possible that the boot lid was replaced at some time, I
know that at minimum, the rest of the back of the car is original, and there
is no evidence at the underside of the trunk where the "budget locks" would
have made contact to suggest that they were ever there.
Is this a "hard and fast" change or was this another example of the
factory's "running changes" where they would use parts until they ran out
and then make the change.
