Does any one have any idea what the interior door grab handles are off (ie the ones you use to close the doors)

I think that they are British Leyland - so I would think MGB/Marina that sort of era. SteVeR or Adrian Venn or DavidY should be able to help.

Definitely BL but I don't know the vehicle, I would suspect Marina or Austin 1300/1800, but if you struggle how about a nice pair of chrome effect cupboard handles. (I'm not joking, the right shape could look really good and match the chrome door opener better)

If they are black plastic with 2 chrome bits at either end, then try MGA.

Thanks guys, decided to go the DIY route. As the plastic bits are ok, having the chrome bits re-chromed at 0.80p each and new stainless screws at £1. Probably cheaper than new handles.
