Default Seeking Volvo 850 estate rear light lenses and door

We are currently refurbishing my daughter's 1995 850 2.4 petrol estate

The tail light lens clusters are very cloudy and scratched, replacements seem hard to find.
I'm being told by various breakers that the lens clusters of the V70 estate of the same era are the same and will fit the 850 with the only difference being that the indicator lenses in the top clusters are clear (rather than amber) and require amber indicator bulbs to be used.

Can anyone advise if the V70 lenses do fit the 850?

Also the rear passenger side door is badly corroded and we're trying to find a replacement, ideally in silver so it looks OK until we can afford to get the paintwork sorted out.
Agin struggling to find a supplier; anyone got advice on where we might find one (as cheap as possible!)?

If it helps, the VIN is YV1LW5106T2200364

Thanks
Mike

The V70 lights will fit, it's quite a common upgrade as the V70 lights don't seem to discolour, although you will need the amber bulbs.

There are a few doors on ebay, might have to repaint though
