Re: 28 443 and 29 640,645 hood .

I suspect that the 443 may be longer in the hood. For example, the 5 passenger phaeton bodies for a 640 and 443 are 1 11/16" difference in length from firewall to rear axle centerline. See attached drawings (which may not be clear enough to read). The wheelbases are 140 1/2" and 143", a difference of 2 1/2". The bodies and radiators on these two models could be positioned to accommodate these differences while using the same hood or the hood lengths are different.
I would tracking down owners of each model and asking that they measure the length of the hoods.
