Who knows what was installed by the previous owner. 

A woman about 10 years ago, advertised in Hemmings, was brokering DeLoreans 
from her office in Tennessee. I don't think she is still in business.  It was 
some scam IMO.  

Any older owners from the era remember her?

She contacted me about a car that I had for sale VIN 1183.  She had a buyer 
that wanted a gray interior car, however the car that was for sale had a black 
interior. She asked me if I would consider having the interior dyed gray for 
her customer. 

The car is now in the Netherlands, and still has black interior.

More to the point & to answer your question. 

The black interior cars, should have black seats, dashboard, console, etc., 
with a dark gray carpet. None of the factory built cars have a black carpet. 
The cars did have a very dark gray carpet and the optional factory floor mats 
were black.

 The Gray interior cars have a lighter gray carpet, almost silver tone.

There are two version of carpet piles/weaves in the DMC. The early cars have 
a bigger loop and the later cars have a tighter loop of carpet.
