Onz is right. The early ones had external handles and the late ones have internal handles. So the early ones have a slot under the oversailing top section for the handle. Whether you can put a late type mechanism on the early tailgate frame would need careful comparison, (and a suitable hole inside), unless you would be happy to put up with the early type of handle, which on an LSE is a bit agricultural.
