Looking at the condition of the carpet and panel that is showing in your photos, the interior has been redone. The type of connector is probably is one that pushes into the wood frame and is either made of steel (older restoration) or plastic (newer restore).

You should be able to slip a thin narrow putty knife between the frame and the door panel and move it up and down to locate them. Use one of the plastic trim removal tools made for the task. Make sure the tool slot straddles the connector. Be gentle prying the panel away. If you are not sure go to a auto upholstery shop and have them remove the panel,
