Trunk "T" Handle #407629 05/06/18 01:37 PM

I need a complete handle with the lock cylinder included. My question is this - is there any compatibility with older model trunk handles? I see a lot of NOS GM handles online, usually for '47 or '48 Olds, Chevy, etc. The handle looks extremely similar to mine, but I wanted to ask... does anyone have experience fitting one of these on a '49? Trying not to spend $300 on this thing!
