But there's a difference in the types of OZ doors and the B pillar latch is different as well. So, it has to be determined which door he has in order to get the correct matching part.

I think he needs the strikes for the B pillar.

In case there is an issue with photos....  the two types of Oz door are quite different but easily distinguished...  Is the outside handle a lever that goes up and down or a flap that lifts up??

Cheers, Ian

Your statement "The door latches are totally different". I understand you are referencing the interior latches but if you have the later anti burst proof doors with the lift up exterior latch/handle afaik these will not fit without a serious amount of work, hopefully you have the earlier ones.
Post a picture of what you have.

Rick (Hunter) is in Australia right now.

Possible he could source what you need.

What parts do you need and I could email him. Also try eBay Australia.//www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l2632.R2.TR12.TRC2.A0.H1.Xclassic+mini.TRS0&_nkw=classic+mini&_sacat=6030
