It's obvious that my door cards are not factory stock..they have keyhole 
shaped holes with the clip going through the hole and sliding into place 
down the key slot part. Not much like yours at all. My car had the metal 
clips in use though until I put some of the plastic ones in, and I know for 
a fact that I have a new interior kit installed now in dark red as opposed 
to the green it came originally.
I bet NTG or Lou has some of the factory style clips. The old American car 
metal ones I've seen come from antique cars magazines like "Old Fords 
Parts"and such. You might try some of those folks.

I'm familiar with those "feathers" as you call them.  That type of
fastener is common on modern cars.  It's the other end that seems
tricky.  The metal clips seem to be attached by the bent ends into
two small slots, about an inch apart.  What you found engaged those slots?
