Do Camaros and trans ams have the same doors?

I wanted to know if thirdgen camaros and Trans ams have the same doors on the exterior. I recently noticed that the driver door on my GTA has a manufacturer sticker on it with a VIN which goes to a 1988 camaro with the 305. the sticker also says that the car uses 215 tires. My GTA has 245s and the 350. Is it possible that the previous owner swapped a Camaro door on my GTA?
All the other VIN numbers on the car say that it is a GTA.

The answer is yes. The only difference was in the attached parts (door panel, door ding strip, ground effects etc).

Yeah, they are completely interchangable. I have an 86 TA, and went to the junk yard and got one door off a camaro, and the other door off of another camaro (Mine were rusted to crap). They went on fine, and everything else should all go right back on the same.

My driver's door came off an 88TA. The only difference was the mounting holes for the GFX.
