Alvin,

"4. This is a "random" question.

In the shop manual, the addition for 1952, it shows the door control arm at an angle and it is held in place with three screws. Where you screw it to the door it has a "triangular" shape head. There is an indention in the door that looks to me like it would make more sense to turn the "triangular" head upside down so that it fit snug in the indention, use two screws, and the control arm would be straight and in its indention......I realize if you turn it upside down it changes the way the door handle works, right? .... but is there a reason for this??

It looks to me that with the door control arm at an angle over the indention that it would rub the back of the doors cardboard door panel.

There is a left and right control mechanism.

The "control arm" does not fit in the groove. A anti-rattle pad goes on the high spot in the door, where the rod goes over the high spot. I'll post a diagram from the Factory Asssembly Manual, if you want it.
