1965 Barracuda rear defogger

I am no expert, but I have 2 65 Barracudas, one an S and the other a Commando car, neither has defroster but both have the slot opening on passenger side only. I thought it was for ventilation.
I owned 2 other 65 S cars in past, they both also had the slot

I though ALL barracudas had the slot
Maybe I'm wrong
Yes all came with the slot
