Default '70-'72 Custom vs Standard Interior Differences?

The only differences I am sure of are the wood grain and lower carpet on the custom door panels. I only know this because I saw some pics of replacement panels in the MidAmerica Corvette catalog. Anyway, can anyone detail the differences between the custom and standard interiors? I'm only really interested in '70 - '72 coupes if that helps narrow it down a bit.

Thanks!

Aside from the door trim panels, the custom interior had different seat trims (leather), wood grain on the console shift plate and different carpet I believe.
