SAM I AM NOT TRYING TO SAY THAT IS NOT A MILLS BACK DOOR,
BUT MY 1908 CAILLE BROTHERS BEN HURR HAS THE SAME DOOR.
MY DOOR MEASURES 14 & 11/16 " WIDE BY 15 5/16 TALL

It took a long time but I found one on ebay that's only half the battle then I had to find a Yale/Mills lock,not the more common Bell lock.Not easy to find but nothing beats original.

I agree this back door looks similar to the Caille back door . I do understand that the steel rim around the wood is supposed to be wood grained paint .

Also looks like my Caille naked lady back door. Looks fairly easy to make if you're not dead set on an original. I'd have to look at earlier posts but a guy in Wisconsin replied to a " wanted rear door picture" post I made. He advised that he has made them in the past.
