And they charge a few more dollars for it, so it doesn’t affect their bottom line. Just speculating. I’ll open the box later and see if there is an explanation.
Yes, I ordered the aluminum side mounts like Bill V. Has.

Cool thanks!
Gert Carnewal referred to 869 426 as "right side console for a 996." So, there may well be some parts for use across different models.
It looks like the 364 954 rails I'm using plus this inboard seatbelt receptacle mounting bracket (and opposing spacer), if available separately, could be the call.
Please provide part number for above when you get a chance.
I still don't love that the receptacle bracket adds overall height to the install, but I'm trying to avoid the added weight of steel side mount brackets, even tho some versions (Brey Krause, Planted, etc) incorporate a provision for seatbelt receptacle mounting into their steel side bracket.
