'31 833 Hood louvers or doors

I have been looking at 833's and I see some have louvers and some have doors in the hood sides.

Which is correct? If either, what determines which one would be on a car?

According to Turnquist's book, page 64, a louvered hood was standard on the 826/833 and a 3-door hood was optional.

If you see an 833 with more than three doors (optional), it is NOT an 833.
