Rangie lower tailgate problem

I've an '84 Classic Range Rover featuring a lower tailgate with external
lever.
Would the fittings etc of a later model with internal lever be suitable for
a straight swap, as mine is now rusting?

Any advice much appreciated.

No, different pin lock mechs on the body, I should know, I tried.
Did not realise until I had bolted the thing on and tried to shut it!!!!!
Whether the pins and plates on the body can be changed I do not know, they
point in different directions.
If anyone wants a good condition 1988 bottom tailgate in metalic red, I have
one wanting a good home.
