Newbie needing opinions on supposed original interior....

Hello group.
I looked at a '69 280sl for sale today and was told that the interior was all original. It looks quite possible, but I thought I would ask this group about it.
Do the seats and carpet (and anything else) all look original??

If the rubber around the shift gate is stuck (vulcanized) to the gate and carpet, that is original.

The finish on the wood looks a little shiny to my eye, otherwise this looks like a good original interior.

The MB Tex is original. The carpet is not original (not vulcanized around the gear shift surround) but it is the correct German multi-loop carpet.

The centre wood console. I have seen them with and without carpet on the interior bottom. With carpet would cover the two screws and add a soft landing for anything sitting in it, such as sun glasses. What is considered original?

The wrinkles in the door panel covering above the release latch would be typical of an original interior - Larry in CA
