The answer is yes, they bolt on perfectly, you have have to nchange the lock plate on the door pillar to take the later latch ,

The challenge may be finding rust free later doors! I have tried and failed. Ended up rebuilding the ones I had by srripping the skin off (carefully, because they are unavailable) and replacing the rusted out sections. Then refitting the skins.

Looks like you have the later 110/MOD all alluminium door tops on there. When you do find your defender doors you should be able to sell those for quite a bit. New ones from Land Rover are over £300 each. Mind you I like the ones you have now as when off roading you don't get slapped in the face by branches when they are open

That's true, but I found not being able to get your head out when needed more of a problem.
