The wire is there to hold the handle in position. It is light enough to break in an emergency. The only visible difference is the location of the pitot tube. You can't tell the difference between an L-11 and anL-13 just by looking at it.
Fordson, I think the perspective on that photo gives a little bit of illusion. Here are a couple, more straight on shots of the N. As for the small door between the cockpit and cabin, they were pretty much the same. Most have plexiglas, some don't.
