Door/map pocket question

In between mechanical tweaking and improvements, I'm filling spare time starting to spruce up my interior.

My 73 Camper Special has soft floppy vinyl map pockets on the door bottoms, I can't find a replacement for them. Current pockets are green, I'm doing all my trim in tan.

Question is: Does anyone know if the molded plastic map pockets from 80-86 models will fit 73-79 doors?

I haven't looked too closely yet but I suppose I could re-make my vinyl pocket in tan marine vinyl, but I like the idea of the sturdier molded pockets.

Thoughts anyone?

Yes I have seen a set with the beer or soda can bump holder/bump molded on there before. And I have a blue set....setting on the shelf.
