Australian Clubman doors will not fit any English Mini without major alterations to the door aperture.

The A panel is the same as a Mk1 Mini, but the door aperture is unique, especially where the lock mechanism fits.

The earlier (pre 1971) Australian doors will fit a UK Mk1, but the later doors with the flush handles are specific to Australian Minis.
