I don't know about Acecas and Greyhounds but Aces, Ace RS2.6s, and the earliest Cobras had conical brass pins in their door way a-pillars (forward vertical part of the door way) that fit into steel tube pockets integrated into the door frames. This feature changed on Cobras very soon to flat tip conical rubber bumpers. (The same rubber bumpers used to steady the top fronts of side windows.) The pocket in door frames remained thereafter but was filled with a flat head screw. Where the pin use to fit into the pocket in the door frame the rubber anti rattle bumper now pushed against a screw head.
Over the past several decades, the typical situation if the aluminum coach work was repaired or replaced in an a-pillar area, the hole was usually filled or not drilled in the case of new body panels.
