The early cars have a dual-pod dash while the later ones have the 
single-pod.   I converted my early car to a later L-model interior, because at the 
time I preferred it.   If I had it to do all over again, I probably would have 
purchased an aftermarket fiberglass single-pod dash and upholstered it in 
Alcantara, like a Euro GTS.   Or, I would have just left it alone with the 
dual-pod setup.   But I like all three styles of dash.   Each has their pluses 
and minuses.
