not sure what to do with it. It would be a funny way to start a barndoor bus build. Is it worth about the same as the later props?

In used condition - yes, pretty much, maybe a little bit more.

It's the same as a later prop.

I measured my NOS one (same one you have) and my micrometer gave me these approx. measurements:
10.2mm
0.4"

After reading this thread I thought I had this sorted. But now I’m confused.
I bought a later repo prop with the aim to flatten the ‘bulge’ and then swap out the short arm as I thought Barndoor arms were shorter (and have a different washer/bolt). But my original short arm pictured below measures 6.5”. The same as the late repo. I’m certain it’s original to the Sept 51 micro it came off?

What does the one on the left fit? It may be NOS.

See link above for descriptions.

My barndoor parts list shows three parts numbers, and one of them is ambulance. I would say that the short short arm is ambulance. That makes sense for how the engine lid works, and the fact that a later arm would not work on my ambulance decklid.
