1974 911 Targa...what is different than coupe?

From inspecting the PET parts catalog it seems like there are only a few differences between a coupe body and a Targa body with the G-series.
  • Roll bar and outer roll hoop skin
  • Front windshield frame, dashboard, and and lower cowl
  • Rear windshield lower body center piece
  • Rear quarter panels
  • Rear internal bulkhead and side panels
  • Doors with different frames, side windows, and door glass
  • Rear window glass

Obviously there are some other functionality differences (manual windows, interior trim, moldings, etc) that differed, but are there any other major parts that differed between the coupe and Targas?

Different bracing in the footwell area. If you compare coupe to targa front carpets, you can see the difference

Is the firewall actually different? I wouldn't think the rear seat would also be different (though I think the inner side metal is different).

A friend of mine has a '71 Targa and the rear seat area looks to be different than my coupe. I was told, though am not sure, that the engine sound deadener pad is also different. That is comparing my '71 coupe to his '71 Targa.

I have no proof of this, but thought it was worth mentioning. Then again by '74 it could have changed.
