Door panel Plastic

Does anyone know what type of [lastic or foam material is used on the back of door panels? I have a few broken pieces and a couple of bent places I'd like to repair if possible. Don't know what glue/epoxy to use to restore the integrity of the panels. The outer panels are in great shape, so I'm not looking to replace.

Original panels have pressure molded paper backs over which the vinyl skin is bonded.

Aftermarket replacement panels often have ABS plastic backs.

I just repaired several cracks in the foam/plastic backs of my 78 door panels. Used a 2 part epoxy that was meant for plastic that i bought at Ace Hardware. It worked great.
