Front wings

Has anyone ever gone through the fun process of trying to find a front wing for their CSK?

I *think* I've ascertained that the wings are actually "upto FA374641" (exposed hinge) items, but with the holes cut in them in front of the wheelarch for the indicator repeater.

Is this correct, or are they "FA374642 onwards" (concealed hinge) items, with a slot cut in the back to accomodate the exposed hinge?

Or to put it another way, do the wings mount to the inners / chassis / sills in a different way between the 2 and 4 door shells, and are they therefore different apart from the hinge slot and indcator repeater holes?
CSK 109: Genuinely 34K miles, genuinely unrestored, genuinely in need of some TLC.
