69s didn’t have these reinforcements. I can’t recall if 69s had the screw under the vent window or not.

I don’t see the Blazer for sale having a reinforcement plate. I suspect it’s an aftermarket door. It won’t detract from the ride obviously but noteworthy imo for valuation.
It could also be a cut down truck door that they didn’t install a reinforcement plate on. I have an NOS drivers truck door that I intend to cut down for my blazer and install the reinforcement plate. From what I’ve read they didn’t make a separate door for the Blazers they actually cut truck doors for the Blazers and it is shown that way in the assembly manual but I could be wrong.
