Door handles... thickness

Evening all,

My eyes may be going funny and finding problems that aren’t there...

My passenger door handle on the van (non locking) looks, feels and is thicker/ chunkier than the drivers side locking)?

Is this just a factory quirk or at some point in its life have they become mismatch?

Cheers,

I don't know what age or model your Mini is but could you have an early Mk1 handle on one side and a late type (the type with the safety boss) on the other? The later ones look similar but are more bulky.

The vans 72, and both have have the safety boss.

I was just getting the passenger door handle in straight last night, to line up the boss and thought 'this looks chunkier' :lol:
