That looks to be an original with the hex hole pattern. No one, including Porsche, ever made a reproduction with the hex pattern. Andrea did, but in ivory and his material is thicker. Plus his is much more recent. Yours looks decades old.

When I restored my 73 back in 86 I put in a black headliner from the aftermarket with the hex pattern, things were different then.

I ordered samples and they did indeed have a hex pattern. I ended up ordering from Andrea. Can't remember why I didn't choose to order from Southbound. I'll look around and see if I still have the samples.
I have T built in 10/70. Unrestored. Non-karmann.
It had an ivory fabric in hex.
I tore it, so I renewed it, in ivory, I still have old one.
My visors are cream/black. But the black shows when visor is down.
I think someone put a black liner in your car to update it, and switched your visors, right to left.
Do you know the history? Did the PO do other updates?

Sorry, should have said OEM, not original. Makes a difference in this context. Sometime around 1990 Porsche switched to the square pattern and that’s all they made after that. Although NOS was available for years after that. Even saw some here in the classifieds as recently as 5 years ago. Not sure I’d want to use something that had been folded for 30 years, but that’s neither here nor there.

Just a heads up if you order from Andres. I ordered a headliner from him in may and I never received it. Andres stated that it was returned once undeliverable and lost the second time but he would never provide a tracking number.
