Well the South American bodies could have been different for sure
Not sure about European ...that could be a problem
If you have the old doors, however rough, have u compared measurements?
I see you’re going to measure but those could be correct for USA doors and your originals are not same....??

I don't think any other countries other than Canada were building bodies at least in the early model A time frame. Some body finishing work was done in Commonwealth countries like Australia and South Africa but those bodies are markedly different. Dagenham didn't start production till 1931 and it was even later for France and Germany. Most production for other than UK Commonwealth countries was done in the USA. Commonwealth stuff was mostly made in Canada in that time frame.
I measured my 1929 Sport Coupe's doors but all I had was a standard tape measure. They are generally fairly accurate if used properly. The front to back width was a solid 29 & 3/16-inches on both doors.
