Snookie was prone to guessing. I wouldn’t trust that assessment unless of course there is a detail we cannot see.

Unless there are interior shots that show the door panels. Early models have wood trim, while late models have silver trim on the inside of the doors. The change was in either 1984 or 1985 (I'd have to look it up).

1985: Link to "oldcarbrochures.org"

1984 Impala YouTube video, shows wood trim: Link to "youtu.be"

1984 from Mecum: https://www.mecum.com/lots/395899/1984-chevrolet-impala/

So it looks like just 1985 have the silver trim.
