Dave Gunnarson's wonderful book on the Model 51 Truck identifies 4 versions of door inner panels. The doors on the pickup and truck should be the same. "Job 1 to March 1935": garnish molding. "March 1935-Mid 1935": three top holes. "Mid 1935-December 1935": five top holes. "December 1935 to October 1936": Panel retainer channel.

I highly recommend his book for both the truck restorer and for the pickup restorer as the cabs share many components.
