Actually, the quote on 2260 was precisely correct. The point is that the buyer of the car had to ask Radford Racing why the car didn't have the reverse angle cut into the rear of the doors to match an FIA rear fender opening, which the car also lacked. From the buyer's perspective (in '67), how the doors were built wasn't the issue - to him, they looked like street doors, as he didn't realize they were modified from the original ones. And, looking at them from the exterior, he was right: they had a rounded rear section just like a standard door. Having examined them since, I can verify that the correct number stampings were still on the hinges of both doors, as were the holes for the lights to illuminate the numbers in its earlier racing days which seemed to correspond to the placement of the lights in photographs from the '64 season. So, if we get beyond the issue of semantics, we have no new facts here: the doors looked like street doors even though you could see they had been modified from the cutback design. The buyer's question was simply "Why?"
