Do the Lee 2 Cavity handles fit on the NOE molds?

The stamped sheet metal 2-cavity handles on the dirt-cheap Lee molds, that require pressing pins out to remove the mold blocks?
No.

The standard Lee handles that are commonly sold independently (as "commercial" handles)?
Yes.

Though I use all kinds of handles, and prefer RCBS, I have my fair share of Lee handles. The majority of them are mated to 2-, 3-, and 4- cavity NOE mold blocks (and, I think, one 5-cav).

The ones that came on my cheap Lee molds had a Allen screw deal and were not pressed in and the handles are not stamped sheet metal they. But they do not look like the Lee 6 cavity ones

I don't know if Lee has made various kinds of 2 cavity type handles, but I know the common ones you see won't work.

The 6 cavity handles you can buy separately work well.
