Mills FOK back door

I was hoping someone can verify if the back door I have off an Mills silent FOK is original or not. I have owned many Mills machines and I have never had one like this. I assumed it was home made until I saw one on Squires and Corrie that looks just like it, and they say it is original. Thanks, George.

HI

The backs are original for the early machines.

This is an original back door. Earlier versions had a wood insert surrounded by the metal frame. The metal center was added later toward the end of the gooseneck run. It was for better security as the wood center doors were easily broken into being the insert was only 1/4- 3/8" thick.
