Exploratory Surgery

I compared the two dead door latches I have with each other.

I have the recently deceased front left and the older rear right.

Except for the housing being mirrored from right to left sides of the car, the lockwork is identical.

The front housing has a different electrical plug and an extra arm for the key tumbler to engage.

The plastic cover can be swapped front to rear from what I can tell.

That means if I can find any latch for the side that breaks, I can use it!

That opens up using door latches from 2008 to 2009 Pontiac G8's!  Which apparently differ in the cover but not the latch housing.
