Default Do El Camino Doors = Chevelle Doors?

Looking at a donor 70 El Camino as a source for 70 Chevelle Doors. Are they the same?

That didn't take long. I figured as much, too easy.

El camino fenders are different as well,more flat sided lacking the bulge side of the chevelle fender, all else is the same.

As I recall, while the sedan bodies changed in shape in '70, ElCo's and wagons did not, retaining their 68-69 shapes. Thus the difference in fender shape, and doors for that matter. By that logic I wonder if a 70 ElCo front clip would bolt to a 69 Chevelle?

FWIW: The 68 and 69 El Camino fenders are the same as Chevelle, but not 70-72.
