Sixth Series Interior Firewall Covering

It is my understanding that the inside of the firewall on the 6th Series Standard Eight open cars was covered with carpeting and that the Custom Eight open cars used a vinyl-like upholstery material (padded). Can anyone confirm or contradict this assumption? Pictures?

Thanks,

Jim,
I can confirm that the inside of the firewall on the 1929 Standard Eight cars is covered with a coarse carpet like material with brass eyelets for the various openings and press stud attachment clips, I have the remnants of an original one. I can't comment on the Custom Eight cars but hopefully this will prompt someone to respond. Also I seem to recall being told many years ago that someone in US was reproducing these covers. Again someone may have better information.
