Based on samples from Hirsch many years ago, Wilton I has a coarser nap than the Wilton II. The Wilton II is a closer match to the original Mosstred.

I used Wilton III for the carpet in my 22nd Series Custom 8 as it was supplied in a width of 40" instead of 36" for Wilton II and has a black latex coating on the jute backing. It was an excellent replacement for the original Mosstred when glued to 3/8" thick foam rubber. I don't know if it is still available.
