Applied the "fix" this morning. Both handles now up and horizontal. A joy to behold!

Also, in the interest of science, I unbent the tabs and disassembled the already damaged latch from the 544. Once I saw how it works and goes together I switched out the spiral spring - moving the 544 spring to the 444 latch. That provided no real help with the limp handle. But the reverse tug with a spring from the cotter key on the back side method worked great.

Thanks for the help - what a great resource this forum is.
