Might be interested in the rubber nipple depending on what cruiserdan comes up with? Have to see about that offset clip he's talking about, but I think I understand. The large holes in the board are lined up, but inboard of each door hole about 3/4".
If your auto body supply place is like mine, there will be a large wall of bins with all kinds of clips and recepticals for attaching interior panels. Go sort throught them and you'll find what you need.

I have tore s*** up looking for my pieces, I know they will work and if you see what they are you will understand my thinking. I will have to put the lady on the hunt for them.....She can find anything!
I've been following your resto from time to time and have really enjoyed watching the quality of your work and your LV being put together. I made the masonite door panels that you have. Kind of a trip to see somthing I made in my garage, sitting in yours. I have seen several different kinds of panel clips used on the LV panels. I believe the ones that Mike posted here in his pics are the originals, but others will work also. Here's a pic of the ones that came in my LV. They go directly into the hole in the door, without a sleeve going into the hole first like the one in Mike's pics. I do believe that SOR sells LV door panel clips, but I'm not positive on that. Who did you buy your LV from? Just curious to how my panels ended up in your LV.
I'm sure you've got this figured out already, but here's how they slide onto the door panel and why the holes are offset. Note that the part of the clip that goes into the door in the pic above is even with the round part of of the clip in this pic.
The one's Gene posted look like they were used in both Ford and Chevy in the '60s. No idea on actual size of the Ford ones though. VW bug/bus look promising.
I had no idea you were that far from Duluth.....damn.....them's Texas travel times
Anyway, both of my parts stores here in a town of 10K keep those clips like Gene posted, very common on Fords from the 60-70's.......if ya' don't locate some holler......
Stock toyota like Shane mentioned will work for you. Here is a pic of a clip I took off my '78 FJ40.
The rubber cup deals are the same size except the newer one is longer. It is hard to tell from the pic but the clips are the save depth, size, width, etc.
