In the late 140/early 240 days although the basic door sheet-metal and framework was more or less the same (but check out door handle cut-out sizes which did change around those years) be aware that the lock/latch mechanism did chance. I had lots of hole-slotting to do when changing rear doors on my 74 144 to those from a '76 244.
Morale: don't buy blind - try to get both doors side-by-side so you can see the catch and fixing bolt differences. Possibly not worth the engineering work involved even if the actual door is identical.
