All the main suppliers sell windscreen seals & don't buy on price. There are many Land Rover parts where buying genuine/Grade G parts is best + you need to familiarise yourself with the LRWorkshop diagrams - all parts info here https://www.lrworkshop.com/diagrams

Actually, not all but as yours is a 1997 it "should" have late Series doors. But, there's always a but...they could have been changed by a PO to later doors. Post pics of doors and/or compare door type with those on Paintman/LRWorkshop.
Q? are your doors in two parts with a rubber seal between top and bottom, have sliding windows and anti-burst lock door handles like these?

If the door frame is rotten at the bottom, rather than the skin, you can get repair sections.
Went to Paintman today. Incredibly helpful to a Land Rover newb, looked up part numbers and paint shades and Ieft clutching two new doors, some paint stripper that apparently works, two mid-door seals and some black paint. Well worth the drive and thanks for the pointer to them.

Be prepared for the studs for the door tops to be stubborn if rusted and check out the cost of new door tops before you use too much force to separate them.
Thanks, yes, I need to have a closer look when the rain stops(!), but they actually look like they were installed quite recently.
I do need the smaller rubbers, MTC 7549 and MTC 7550, which are on the LRDIRECT site that you pointed me at, so apart from the mid-door seals and the bulkhead seal, which other rubbers should I be ordering at the same time?

If door studs stubborn, soak with Plusgas for a day or so and they'll ease off. I've recently replaced mine with st/st [as per @flat], drivers side unscrewed easily, passenger side needed some gentle encourage. Re-tap threads before reassembly, clean out and then copperslip new threads.
+ glad all went well at Paintman
