The sliding doors are different 80-84 vs 85-91 but the same size. The
latches differ, as the 85-91 has only 1 latch mechanism, at the back edge.

The rear edge inside handle was a camper thing on early slider doors.

(the window in the earlier sliding door is larger, slightly)

If it had no rear handle, it must have been removed.  I do not believe that a later model door would fit on an earlier Vanagon.  Someone may correct me if I am wrong.
