1970-72 and into early 73 used the concave Challenger door handles part number 2998882-3.
Cuda door handle 2998816-7 was also used during this time frame.
These numbers are in the parts book dated November 1972 and also in the 1972 Chrysler parts list prices shown here dated Jan 72 for a whopping $4.75 ea.

Parts book dated Dec 1973 shows part number 3760214-5 was in use then, replacing both the  Barrauda and Challenger part numbered ones with one for use in both models.

You are 100% correct as always Terry, 70-72 handles were different between the two models, Challenger concave and Barracuda convex.  After that, the flat handles never fit either car perfect and Challenger fit the worse.  Chrysler was cutting cost every place they could by then, that's why all the side marker lens's, after 71, were the same on pretty much every vehicle produced at that time.
