I recently noticed that the driver side OEM panel for my 68 GTO door, which came from a 68 Lemans ... the window crank hole is misaligned enough that the hole shows with the crank on (holes too high) ... The right side door panel which is original to the car fits perfectly.

The 68 Lemans OEM panel even has plain as day witness marks where it fit on the original Lemans the same way.

This Lemans panel installed on my GTO would also try to hang up when the door was closed because it seemed a tad too long.

The Lemans and GTO came from different plants. Exact problems you are describing but with OEM panels. Makes a person wonder if there are two sets of blue prints out there, or some whacky minor change during production.
