A body console glove box latch

I have an assortment of a body consoles and have a couple questions members might be able to answer for me. First I have one that has no button to open lid (no latch). What is correct application? Second some have the nose shortened. Are they for A/C cars?
See post #12. Console question ! According to Ulf (who knows his stuff) the shortened one that has been finished off is a factory one. The hacked up one pictured earlier in the thread looks to be a owner modified console.
