@wonkipop

In the midst of finally replacing a few key pieces of my original carpeting. Noticed something somewhat strange (see pics). The backing on the driver’s side (on right) is lighter and kind of light, stiff pvc or something. Stamped with “TSB”. Passenger side backing is black and much more rubbery; not stiff at all. Same situation with the NOS pieces I’m preparing to put in and the NOS passenger mat already in (not in pics).

Any experience, insight, or history on this. These are known (mine) original pieces.
As promised, truly minutia.
Thanks!

Yes, @wonkipop that looks like standard non-AG version. A bit step up for the $ but didn’t have a choice; this is the one that was on the lot. Otherwise a Ravenna Green (not my favorite) with Steelies or a 2.0 (don’t recall the color but too expensive for the day after graduating college). Worked out well!
