Default Early C3 door panel question

I have a 1974 Corvette that is in need of some door panels. I have a lead on a set from a 1969 C3, that will need a color change, but are in good enough shape I am considering them. I know that the panels from 1970-77 are the same, but I was wondering if the 69 panels will work on the 74 (i.e. fit on the doors and have the screw holes line up. I know that the style is a little different when it comes to the trim panel that goes across the front top of the panel, but I am curious if that is the only difference. Thanks!

Yes, the padded comfort weave inserts on the top of the panels, are the only difference between 69 and 70-76 panels. Screw holes, lock bezels, door pulls are all in the same place.
