West, according to the appendix for the 443 in Turnquist's book, the body numbers are NOT the same. #s 380 thru 389 for the Standard and 310 thru 319 for the Custom. Though factory list prices shown are the same, weights differ considerably, in some cases by a hundred pounds and more. See page 231 of his book.

Turnquist's book is not without some errors, we should also check the Kimes-edited book as well.
