i have heard of many weird things that have happened regarding parts from seemingly different series of cars. i have been told and have no reason to disbelieve it - that someone has seen a factory coupe that had 1 door jamb with a vent and the other side without. i suppose they just used what parts were available and if they mucked up, they covered it as conventiently as possible
I think the XC quarters came in late 75 or early 76. That means some cars got the late engine bay and early quarter.
