Perhaps your questions have been answered, if not perhaps this will be of value.
The 55 and 56 trunk liner materials were different, at least on the senior Packard models; 1st photo is of the original material in a 55 Caribbean trunk, 2nd is my 56 Caribbean trunk with an early Sue Cleerman replacement kit installed. Sue's material's imprint pattern is an exact match to the original materials as seen in the 3rd photo, smooth-skinned and printed fibre board for the sides, rubberized mat for the base, gas tank filler cover, and wheel wells. Her kit was for a sedan or hardtop; the Caribbean kit differed slightly in that the two inner-facing steel structures that support the trunk hinges were covered top to bottom with the patterned fibre material and retained with screws, rather than what you see here. On request Sue did provide me with extra material to make the Caribbean convertible-only pieces which I have not yet done.
