    The somewhat haphazard way those strips are assembled makes me doubt it's factory.

    The material though is a dead ringer for the girls' skirts at the Catholic high school I went to. Ahhh, memories...

    I'm not holding out any great hope that those are original Porsche 1972 inserts, but if they are '72 pieces there should be holes in the top of the seat back for the headrest.

    I didn't see any holes although they could easily be hidden in those photos. The holes were introduced about December 1968.

    I'm sure you meant to write December 1967

    Well, I realize now that I should have meant December 2017.
