cmp doors cab13 chevrolet and ford

Hello everybody

I'm currently busy with a 1/35 scale plastic model of a c15 with a 13 cab and I have a question:
Does anyone have pictures of the stamped reinforcing cross on the inner door panel for both a chevrolet and ford?

As I understand it correctly then there should be a difference between the two about the small circle in the middle of this reinforcing cross.

Except that the "Ford door" pictured on the Chev C8A is actually a Chev door. The "Chev door" is an Australian one made by General Motor's-Holden's and wouldn't likely be seen outside Aust.

thanks guys this is exactly what i meant with the reinforced cross.
Who can shed some light on what kind of door belongs to what vehicle and of what manufacturer?

As Tony mentioned the one without the circle in the middle is unique to Australian production where General Motors- Holden built the entire cab locally and made many small modifications to the design to suit their tooling, such as the cab doors, windscreen frames, cowl vents, floors etc.

All Canadian Chevrolet and Ford had the circle in the middle of the door.
