I'm not 100% sure of the MF-14 being able to imprint in-between the frames. I didn't pursue an MF-14 back primarily because of that reason, instead, I managed to get the MF-18 data back which does have the capacity to imprint data in-between the frames.

I will mention that I cannot remember the single time I saw and handled an MF-14 data back, whether or not this is completely correct. But I do seem to remember the imprint window on the data back was in a landscape format.

To that end, I have just checked my Nikon Compendium:- ISBN 1-897802-02-1, page 97, which confirms the MF-18 is the data back that imprints in-between the frames, compared to the MF-14 of which there is no mention of it's ability to imprint in-between frames.

I copy/pasted that info from KEH's website. I guess I should not have assumed that it would be correct!

To answer the original query, hoping it's not too late, according to the F3 Parts List found on learncamerarepair.com, the part number for the back door itself is FA1-801. The pressure plate has a separate part number, which is FA1-820.View attachment 328718

Thanks so much. I did find the parts diagrams on the internet already. As you stated there were 2 part #s for the plain back so was not very helpful to search for the complete plain back. I will call Kiwi Camera a call if the MB14 doesn't show up.
