Carpet Around Center Console

My '68 has a factory center console and the carpet that goes around it is a separate piece that resembles an apron. The prior owner's peeps did what I would characterize as a half assed job installing the old carpet. I plan on putting new carpeting in and want to know if the separate apron piece is factory. My guess is that someone here will have an answer.

I suggest you should continue to separate the apron piece. What kind of apron piece do you want?
