Can anyone confirm whether all four door hinges on the 48-55 3100 are different?

i.e are the lowers the same from left to right etc. or is the upper right same as lower left...you get the idea.

The bottom line is that I am trying to replace my driver's side lower hinge and want to know whether they are all distinct or whether the arm (pin to door) is the same between any two of them? That could widen my search.

Hopefully I am making myself clear.

The hinge itself is fine. I just need the piece that extends from the pin tot he door itself.

I already posted in the wanted forum.

Thanks. Looks like I need that specific hinge then so I grabbed the one on eBay. Pricey item but if the repros are as bad as I am being told, it is worth it.
