yes;
Early doors have caged nuts affixed to doors to hold on handles/mechanisms;
Inner portion of door handle/mechanism used bolts to connect to the door.

Later doors used different handle/mechanisms which were pop riveted in place.

Add to this, the 1970 doors had different inner structure.

Once installed the only difference between doors is the location and size of the openings is the bottoms of the doors which allowed water to pass through.
