Quite right - hadn't noticed that; parts book confirms that the models
315-318 (Notches from Aug 66) still used the 3-screw hinges.  I wonder what
the thinking was, particularly since the factory manual says they changed
to the newer 2-screw design with external support so it was easier to
change the worn parts.
