I started to do mine, but when I tried to press the pins out of the hinges on the hatch they started to deform. So at that point I would have had to drill them out and make new pins if I wanted to do them. I decided they weren't bad enough to delay my upcoming appointment in the paint booth for it. Just from that little bit of interaction with those pins I don't believe they are the same as the door hinge pins as they seemed to be quite malleable and no where near as hard as the door pins. I have no information on the gate hinges. I don't know if this helps you at all.
