Nope, that's pretty much what the factory used is what you have! It almost resembles cardboard, painted black, at least mine is.

I was likely the first person to ever pull the back seat out of our GTS. I know there was no panel back there as I found the broadcast sheet before I pulled the seat because I could see it with the top well lifted up.
yes. I wasn't as lucky. All I found left of a possible broadcast sheet was a couple 1" pieces that appear to have been the corners of a sheet attached to the seat back frame - they were sort of a waxed tan heavy paper...

Dave...what you found was probably the seat ID tags. Broadcast sheets were the old "tractor-feed" printer paper, thin, almost newsprint-like paper
found a pair of metal ID tags on the seat bottom and another pair on seat back. I saw the inside of upholstery had a TEX 12-67 date stamp and some ID numbers. These original back seat covers were not bad overall - mostly just seat bottom was getting brittle from UV exposure...

I don't recall a board of any kind in my 67 vert either but I didn't buy it new.
The notchback had a piece of flat black cardboard at the seat back. Not 1/4 thick though. Closer to 1/8. It served as a blind more than vapor/noise barrier or insulation. The verts boot well served the blind purpose. So did any vert come from factory with a board at the seat back? I doubt it.
