Did the normal search, found nothing. This is our collection 1967-73, from mostly Dearborn, but a few San Jose Cougars.
I know that the two loose headed, non folding ones are 1967? The extreme right version was removed from a March 1973 Dearborn Cougar with low miles. The two versions on the right also have a large "A" stamped inside, manufacturers mark?

Just a suggestion, but when clicked the picture size is too small. Not much bigger than the thumbnails.
Bigger pics will net you more views and feedback.
I think the far left is a 67 SJ lug wrench, but at that size ...

Just trying to save bandwidth. :D

Bob Gaines schooled me on SJ Shelby handles, and that's the first one on the left. It's typical on 67 SJ Mustangs and is the expected concours handle for Shelbys of that year.
For Mustangs it's 13/16. For Shelbys it's the same size, except for Magstar equipped cars need a 3/4 of the same design.
A mouse got into the Boss (see sig) trunk and made a mess. While cleaning it out I removed its believed original space saver, jack, handle and hold down.
That you Mr. Mouse for rusting my handle. That handle looks like third from left judging by its shape and hole location.

The second from the right is a 68 and later? Metuchen because of the oval at the pivot in the socket.
-
From my research the handle 2nd from the left is a 67 only Cougar part.
-
The second from the right was used on 68 Metuchen cars and 68 Shelby's.

Which would be most correct for April 1967 Metuchen S code Fastback?
-
Anyone know which would be correct for a late 68 San Jose Mustang?
I have 1 each of the 2nd and 3rd from the right handles.
-
The A stamping is for Ausco (Auto Specialties Manufacturing Company). Same company that made jacks as well.

Late San Jose 68 handles I found typically were the flat/smooth surface style while early and mid year were of the style with the "step"

Thanks I was assuming that. If the Car has a Ausco jack would it always have an Ausco handle and vice versa?

Ok so the smooth ones have the Hexagonal hinged end, and the stepped ones have the oval end, correct?

On 68 San Jose examples - yes
