Look like 1928-29 Ford Fordor with a Briggs Body (there were also bodies made by Murray which are different). Might fit 30-31 also but not sure.

I'll see if I still have some pictures I took a couple of years ago and labelled all the dimensions on them.

Here's the pictures with dimensions labelled. These are of FRONT door moldings - don't recall if the rear ones are different.

The Model A Briggs door moldings are similar, but the door pull is a separate piece that is chrome plated and fastened with screws to the bottom part of the molding. The door pulls on this pair of molding I have are stamped into or welded to the bottom part of the molding. There were numerous midyear changes to Fords - perhaps this was an early version of the molding before the chrome plated pull was put into production ? here is a closeup of the pull

Very interesting, I never noticed the difference in the door pulls even after noticing your use of "integral" in the heading. Do the dimensions of your moldings match those of the ones in my pictures? If so, someone on a Ford forum such as Fordbarn may know the story on them.
