Replacing a 2002 Se door with a 2001 GLE door

How are you guys? For the second time since I've had my car its been hit in the same door. Other than repairing it again I was planning on swapping the entire door for one of the same color.

I've found a door that is the exact color but it is for a 2001 GLE. It doesn't have any of the interior panels but mine are in great shape. My question is, can I just take my entire interior paneling, speakers, switches, all interior parts, etc from my current door, a 02 Se non bose factory, and place it into this 2001 GLE? Thanks for any help.

Aside from the front bumper and the skirting, all other body panels are the same for 2000-2003 Maximas.

So everything should fit? Mainly I can swap out all of the interior paneling from my old door and place it inside the GLE door? Secondly can I just put my old door handle into the GLE door?

Frestyl I live in Westchester County in NY. I'm about 15-20 away from the George Washington Bridge so going to Jersey would be no problem once I purchase this door.
