Dumb question: are all protege doors the same, front and rear?

From what I can tell, they look the same, assuming the same body style years (3rd gen, etc). Can I take front and rear doors from a protege sedan, and fit them onto my P5? The reason I ask, is because one of my doors has a pretty good sized dent, and I'm going to try and find another black one from a junkyard car. Since the sedans are far more common, I'm thinking that would be easier to find. In fact, I haven't found a single P5 in any local junkyard yet, only sedans.
 
the rears are diff. the door frame is the same its the trim on the rear doors that are different
 
3rd gen proteges all front doors are interchangeable. However the rear doors are not interchangeable due to the top section of the door where the glass sits being different. The sedan rounds out where the wagon doesn't

Ah, I didn't even notice that, I was focusing more on the door panel shape. I guess it's possible that the door skins are the same, just the window frames are different. Oh well, I'll just have to keep an eye out for a P5 in the junkyard.
 
Has anyone ever tried to remove the window frame portion and install on a sedan door? OP is correct, the P5 rear doors are hard to find.
