The winders are different as well since the '47's use a scissor type winder while the '52 has a single lever winder.
I opted to lose both winders completely and will be mocking up and installing power windows from a '93 Grand Cherokee (the winders look dramatically the same as a '47 with motor assist). It should be a simple spacer job but will require that the doors have skins to cover the mounting bolts.
I found the easiest way is to have both doors side by side so you can judge what has to be moved or altered. But if you can find a set of single window doors in the first place that are in great shape... by all means go that route!
