It's #(2)3078 (of 3450), Karmann Built, so it's one of the last. I have both the stateside order form and the European order/delivery forms & 5 inches of records so it's pretty well documented. It doesn't say rubber mats, so I supposed it's open to debate, and since I'm the same age as the car, I wasn't there. A former owner may have bought them.
Brett Johnson also got the VIN numbers for Karmann vs. Porsche built 1969's switched (2 vs. 0) so there is some possibility that his documentation/evidentiary support may not be complete.
If I learned anything following the 356 Registry it's that cars often came with custom paint, special order this or that, particularly when they were European delivery. My guess is the first owner asked for them, or a previous owner added them. Regardless they are handy.
That's quite a list of 69's.
