Espen,
If you go to the Norwegian forum one of the Danish guys, Kristian (user
name Push1267), is a forum member and he owns both a Pushbutton and a
later car which is under restoration. Send him a PM with your questions.
Also, forum member Ingo owns a very early car that I think he has both
types of door for.

Thanks to all who have responded, so far.
Still, noone can tell where the pushbutton come from. If the source is a
Fiat, that sounds reasonable. More than if DeTomaso had it made just for
DeTomasos. Could it be the same lock is used on Vallelunga, Mangusta and
the
first Panteras?
The window frame is mentioned. I must have complete late doors on my
Pantera. The frames are not made in one piece. But my Deauville has
doors
like that. And it's the last one, so all of them was probably made that
way.
Julian mention the first cars are handbuilt, and have crisper body panel
lines. I'm not sure I understand what that means. Have someone tried to
mix
doors between early and late cars. Do they fit?
Thanks again.

I recall reading somewhere quite recently (maybe an ad for a Pushbutton
for
sale) that the PB doors are fabricated with a chromed removable window
frame, whereas the later doors are welded together and have stainless
trim.
I was also under the impression that the early PB's were essentially
hand
fabricated resulting in crisper body panel lines.

Gang,
I have been looking for parts to reinstall pusbutton doors, or modify my
"modern" doors. No success so far.
What is the difference between pushbutton doors and later doors? Except
for
the outside seen difference of the lock of course.
Is the lock and lock holder piece a specific DeTomaso part, or is it
taken
from another more common car or model?
Thanks,
