The extra latch at the forward bottom of each wing was an original feature of the later cars. The tell tale is if the wing has a sheet metal loop catch welded to the forward bottom of each hatch opening. Not sure of what numbered car this feature started. 718 has no sign of this and 1302 has the latch connections on the wings, but no actual latch to secure it! Again Italian consistency at it's finest!
