The sills on my RP have been replaced at some time and whilst grovelling underneath
recently I noticed what appeared to be an inner sill badly butchered.
I am wondering if new sills have been fitted over the top of the original ones and could
this be the cause of the doors sticking out at the bottom.
If the running boards are of the standard RP pattern, with an upstand against the cill, the it's unlikely that any repairs to your cills are the cause of the doors not fitting properly.
Much more likely is that the door frames have been badly repaired at some point. The RP door is a strange thing, with the lower corner on the lock side tapering down to a thickness of about 1/2". The alternative is that your car has doors from an RN, which are about 1 1/4" thick at the same point.

With the running board removed the inner cill should look like this.........
