Door Latch Hardware

I have a 1963 Austin Healey BJ7 that was repainted and went into storage immediately after that. It stayed in storage about 15 years and now I am trying to put the car back together, but cannot seem to find some of the parts that were taken off during the paint job. One such part I cannot find is the door closure hardware on both sides. I am missing the hardware that goes to the body side of the shut pillar and would appreciate if anyone who has a BJ7 can send me some photos of what hardware mounts on the body side to make the door close. The photo I am attaching is from the passenger side of my BJ7 showing the door hardware and there are 3 holes on the body side, but what hardware goes in to the 3 holes? Parts diagrams don't show these parts from a BJ7.

Dunno if this helps. Our BJ7 is still cowering within its Car Capsule (which is also still anchored down by ice). I probably won't be pulling it out for a month. I expect taht Mr. Spidell's reference provides all the answers. Doug
 
Thank you sir for sending me this information. it helped me immensely to find and identify the parts i was looking for.
