I bought a door from an earlier AD truck from a junker for my '54. It worked fine. There is no observable difference (at least to me) between the original '54 door and the earlier door. However, we had to convert the turn-down handle to a push button.

Therefore, I think you may be on to something. One of the experts here should be able to let you know for sure.
