Wanted to close the loop on this one. So there is a difference between auto and manual carpets. For some reason the auto one is really long on the drivers side, which was what was making me question. All the repro sites I could find showed this way.
I could not find any photos from my interior at a good angle, but I did find an old video that I converted to mpeg when I scanned over the entire car when I got it. Sure enough if you look around the console you can see a "dirt line" where the carpet surround was. The dirt did a good job of tracing the outline.

I then added some photos of my completed interior which I FINALLY wrapped up this past weekend. Had a rare sunny day in NJ with no rain, so was able to back out of the garage for once.
The only issue I have is the console carpet I bought recently and it differs in texture and sheen from the carpet I bought back in 2002 from ACC. The ACC carpet feels more like the carpet that came out of the car.
