Red face Different Door Panels

I have a ? concerning my door panels in my 77. I noticed that the door panels have vertical stitching and other trucks I have seen have squares molded in like the repos do. How common are my door panels? Also I aquired a build sheet for my truck. It came with the explorer package "A". Exactaly what does this mean?
My truck is a 77 F150 4x4 custom explorer. Thanks for any help you may offer.

My 77 also has the vertical stitching and I have seen a 76 supercab that had vertical stiching, but my 79 has the squares. My guess is that customs had the vertical stitching and XLT's and LAriats had squares (just a guess)

usually the customs had the squares, and the ranger XLT had the padded inserts added over the squares.

all my XLTs have had the padded insert, even my crewcab, the only one I've seen with padded rear door panels

Here's what they mean by an Explorer package.
I think that there were 3 available.
