All the Mills F.O.K.'s back doors all are taller by about 3/4" of an inch goose neck and silent, the cabinets are 3/4" taller to allow for the mint vender dispensing mechanism, also under the coin box there are two strips of wood to raise the coin box up closer to the mech base, the cash box door if there is one is also taller.
both the back door and the front casting lock are very hard to come by and quite pricey when the do come up.
There is an alternative to the back door if you have the skill, I have done this very successfully, take a standard door cut it and add a strip of sheet metal the correct thickness to it, first put the door on the cabinet to measure for the exact amount you will need to add, next if you have a band saw use that if not use a jig saw and a straight edge, the straighter the cut the better, cut the bottom of the door about 1-1/4" from the bottom, grind all paint off the two pieces to be welded, tack the door to your work bench making sure the both pieces of the door are were they need to be, then start stitch welding the filler strip, don't do a continuous weld or you will over heat the metal and it will warp, go back and connect your welds after stitch welding, grind down your welds, test fit your door, use hammer and dolly to make any corrections to properly fit the door, than you can use automotive body filler to blend in the repair, heavy build primer helps in filling in the small pin holes and imperfections, some doors have an inner rail that you will need to address as well.
If your skills are not up to the task there are plenty of body shops around, you should be able to find one to at least do the welding for you if you do the prep work first for short money, look for a beat up door you can pick one up for short money and if it is bent straighten it before cutting it, if you take your time both inside and outside it will look seamless
