I have to disagree about the shape seeing as I have a f250 door on my x now at least that's what the paint marker from the junk yard said

I don't have first-hand knowledge to answer this, but I will add this-
When you do a lookup for an Excursion rear door on car-part.com, all you get are Excursion results. Similarly, when you look up the same door for a crew-cab Super Duty, you get 250/350 SD results only. Do the same search for a front door, and you'll get mixed SD/Ex results. Car-part is usually very good at producing interchange results, and for whatever reason, they seem to think the rear doors are different between an Ex and a CC...

^^^^ To add to what warrens73 said, we can conclude right in this thread that the doors are different...
1) look at my dad's crew cab in my signature pic- the rear door window is darn near perfectly square.
2) now scroll up to superdave02f552's post (post #3) and look at the Ex in his user icon pic- the rear edge of the window angles forward as it goes up. The yard must have mis-marked the door or assumed they were the same...
EDIT- warrens73 beat me to the punch! haha

Looks as if maybe the bottom of the window is also wider, making the entire door width bigger on an Ex than the 250/350. That would make the entire length of tubing different, so I would suspect that they wouldn't fit.
...thought though...
When I replaced my fronts, they were maybe 3/4" too short. I cut a 3/4" piece off of the old one and slipped it in along the bottom.
Wondering if the length of the 250/350 door seal is similar to an Ex (say, within 3-6"), and you really couldn't find one for the Ex, could you just do the same (replace it and fill in the gap with a section of the old seal)? Should be more than enough new seal to cure the 'rattle' of the doors.
