I agree the completely clear panel is weird. Now the back side does still have a texture but it goes unnoticed when pressed against. (IE the bedspread in the photo) You can see it's a bit blurry to the left of the picture where the blanket is lower than its counterpart on the right. I believe it will turn out fine once painted because the clarity improves once pressed against. Adding the definition seen in stock panels.
Method I used to strip:
- Soaked folded up blue shop towels in generic dot 3 brake fluid
- Spread soaked towels along painted surfaces
- Allow the brake fluid to start to settle you'll begin to see spots of paint disappear
- Once the spots begin grab super fine steel wheel (0000) and begin to rub off the painted surface
- Alternate between wiping off paint the brake fluid is eating up with blue shop towels and steel wool sanding
- Repeat
Door panel took roughly 2.5 hours to strip.

Light wouldn't diffuse properly with completely clear panels plus you'd see the inside of the door. I sort of tried something similar to this with the old cloth panels as they are translucent white once stripped.
