Im not sure on yours norcal49er but on most of the earlier locks they were held in place with a "clip" that slides in around the lock. I has some "bow" in it to keep tension on the lock. Look in the edge of the door to see if you see a slim/thin clip that has sort of a lip on it that you can get a hold of and pull out. I'm not sure but I have seen many locks held in place this way.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
