I don't think it has the door gaps look ok in the pictures and the damage isn't severe enough on the rear 1/4's to suggest that's what has happened more likely secondary damage.

I suspect the rear screen has shattered due to the boot lid hitting it.

Yes the shells are different as the V8 is rear wheel drive. Damage isn't severe enough to warrant a reshell.

Also if damage was that bad the car wouldn't be being sold as a damage repairable.
