I did a search but can't see anything about the captive plates for door hinges when bulkheads are galved. Don't they get stuck up?

Ah I think that explains why there are not many questions about this! no unfortunately they are fully captive on the early ones. But that does look like an easy modification and would solve the problem perfectly. The door pillars look pretty thick at that point - triple thickness, whereas looks just double on yours but shouldn't be much of an issue. So I just need to make a central square hole and then address the harder bit of cutting access from the front to extract the existing hinge plates and weld it back up after. A pity as mine only needed minimal repair in that area.
