The bear claw latches is kind of an important detail.

You're going to be figuring out how to make the mechanism inside the door work regardless of what doors you use, and you're going to be changing the striker plate to match the bear claws.

I think with those assumptions you might as well just put '52 up pushbutton handles on your early doors. Changing to later doors only saves you drilling the holes to mount the handles and filling the lock hole on the passenger side.
