Chrysler has a habit of using the same part on a lot of different vehicles.  I wonder what other vehicles would have the latch you are looking for.  I bet one of the members would know the answer to this.

 road runner uses charger ,charger uses road runner.  super bee, R/T daytona, GTX, belvedere, satellite,super bird,and i think the 4-dr cars used the same on rear doors.charger is just another road runner under the skin  and other then the post cars they share the same side glass.

seeing that charger and roadrunner are both b-body's, I would think that the latches interchange.

Pssst....
I have one. I think it's the right (passenger) side. Came out of a '69 door, but should work in your '68.
Anyone know if the relocation of the lock rod in '69/'70 makes any difference on the latch?
Well, I got one if you need one.
