I have not been able to find out much about door window frames being made of mild steel (painted) or stainless steel and was there a difference between home and export models?

My '51 MM is from Belgium, LHD, and has painted steel window frames...
but the previous I had, a '54 RHD and a '56 RHD had stainless steel window frames.

My 1952 (home market) has stainless steal frames.

Early mms came with chrome tops, then they were painted later on. Export cars had chrome ones for a time. 4 doors saloons all had stainless tops as did travellers.

My MM was made in May 1950 and was fitted with painted steel tops when I bought it, they were in seriously bad condition with both quarter light catches broken so I changed them for later stainless one off a traveller.

My left one was also rusted, but today I found another one ;)
where to buy the rubber between the quarter light and the door?
Does ESM have these parts?
