Door handle

Hi everybody!

I have a little quick question.
Are the back door handles (exterior - chromed handle with black plastic and lock/unlock mechanism) the same for the 4 door hatchback and sedan?
I'm asking because my left door handle at the back door is broken, a little part of it broke of inside, something that is essential in the opening mechanism (when you pull the handle that part somehow pulls up and the lock opens - I don't really remember because I took it apart about 4-5 months ago).
So I want to change it but I don't know if it will fit from both hatchback/sedan.
Or is there a difference between mk1, mk2, mk3?
Thanks for any replys! :)

Cheers,
Arpi

This is the part I'm talking about:

As you can see on the last picture, on the bottom there is a copper peace which hold something, and that part should be longer.

Thanks for the info!
Well I would be interested the only problem is that England is quite far from here...and postal costs are high. So I'll be looking for something a little closer to home.
There are a few 300 Volvo's being taken apart for parts so I hope I can find one.

I've been meaning to ask you something Adam, the Volvo badge on the front grill of your car, from which model does it come from? (is it from a boot, or side panel?)

Thanks again! :)
