Sent me out to the Kitty with a flashlight. Rick's pn UK-72P from about 5
years ago has the same pebble finish on all the rear package area trim
pieces. I liked at mine carefully, the material is the same. You might want
to give Rick a call...

Regarding the clips, the '67 has slots in the rear wall for the clips,
which should be on the waist roll. But be careful, they're brittle, and
will snap off the roll backing. (Rick had some... I assume he still does. )

On my Mark 2, should be the same as the Mark 1A, they have pointed tabs cut
into the rear wall to secure the soft top cover.
