Well I spoke to my local upholstery guy and he was kind enough to give me a few min and some info. (Neighborhood shop not the national advertiser here in cntrl l i). He said it is common practice to use the more modern trunk felt even on 50s vehicles with or without full side panels and on the trunk floor they will either cut n bind the edges if it is to sit unglued or to just cut and spray glue down with un bound edges.
These are the samples from a vendor and far right second from bottom would have been the closest to what was there orig. the samples for the seat upholstery have a close match to the insert panels star demask but the border panels on my car are dark green not the lighter gr on the sample. I gave them my int code. They may have a closer match but i will not be persuing this. My front seat is in very good cond orig. he said to do just the rear seat is not appropriate as it will not match looking too new against the front and to do the frt and rear with me supplying the material will be in the 2 to 3 k range. I will just keep the cover blankets on and let the next caretaker decide on any changes. I also have a rool of the green embossed material for the lower dor panels and b pillar and package ray covering if anyone needs it. P m me
