Steve & Owen,
Per your request I am attaching some more pictures of what I think may be unique things. Sorry the picture quality is not good.
There are a couple of details of the front door, the body post, and the piece that is supposed to be installed at the top above the door for the window up stop. The glass is missing in both front doors and the owner has plexiglass duct taped in place to keep animals out.
Picture 43 is of two protrusions that are on the divider
just above the divider window. There are an additional pair of protrusions on the front passengers side of the door post.
The photo is taken looking aft. They are about 3/4" in dia and stick out about 1 1/2" What appears to be a rear view mirror on the other side of the glass is actually a reflection of it in the window. I have no idea what these parts do.

There is a detail picture (60)of the running board material which has a rectangular embossed pattern. There are several 3/8" wide ribbed stainless pieces that run the length of the running board. Was this pattern supplied by Packard?

Hope these help
