They are definitely door panel carpets used on 1970-1977 but they look like they are 80/20 loop which never existed.... I can't tell from the picture.
But 1969 cars (your profile told me you had a 69) didn't have lower door panel carpet on them. This was only an option from 1970-1977 with deluxe interior. Deluxe interior included leather seat covers, smooth visors and cut pile carpet.

69 door panels with all the trim installed would look like the one pictured below.

Those were also included with my ACC carpets that I bought for my '69 vert. I figured they just include them as a matter of course.

Getting a 1968-1969 with door panel carpet just increases the cost and it was never a factory option. Getting a 1970-1976 carpet set with standard interior (80/20 loop) is also a cost additive because those cars didn't have the door panel carpet.

Have you ever seen the comfort weave on a deluxe interior before?
This is the original visor on my 73 that has deluxe interior. Maybe for some reason they placed the weave on my year instead of the smooth.

Nope.. they just don't know the application. We have two part numbers we use, standard (with no door panel carpet) and deluxe 1970-1976 (which includes the door panel carpet).

I've seen a ton of factory goofs over the years but never that one.
I think the funniest one I've ever seen was on a C4 where they ran the pillar trim screw into the power wire for the passenger side visor.
