Part number front/rear handle is probably identical.

Makes sense.
I have a 85+ sliding door, and am pretty sure it does not have that
square mounting stud in the rear.
The square stud still has to be the same as the square one on the front
release mechanism.

Never had the chance to check out a pre-85 door though...which probably
has the rear stud welded to it post-factory, because I know there is no
"bump" underneath the usual doortrim.
