I do know that a door from an escort van fits a the front door of a 5 door hatchback cos I fitted one once to a 5 door hatch that had a damaged front door, so the reverse should be true.
here's two base model 87-89 Escrots that would probably have had manual windows so might be worth asking the sellers if they have the reg's still available.
