My 1971 914-6 absolutely positively has smooth door panels and smooth inserts for the seats, original. The grain on the '71 vinyl is different (coarser), and in my opinion, uglier, than what they used in 1970.
I have yet to see any 1971 914 with basketweave seat inserts and I am quite positive that basketweave door panels did not come in before the 1972 model year.
Early (70-71) door panels are superior to the later since they had a metal upper piece which would allow you to more easily reupholster the panel with new fiberboard.
