Which Map Pouch came stock in a '89 Formula?

I have 2 Map Pouches, both in excellent condition. I have 1 that is installed and 1 that was tossed in the back seat when I bought the car. Which one is stock?

My 89 TA has the map pocket on the right. Not sure if the Formulas got a different pocket.

I think the one on the right was only in the T/A in '89. Still not sure. I can't figure out why he bought a 2nd one, they are both perfect.

Good news, neither. My 88 Formula has no map pocket, just a foam-backed textured vinyl pad. The map pockets always look ugly when the elastic wears out. The vinyl pad will never look ugly. I plan to replace the map pockets that are on my inner door panels with the cup-holder map pockets.

Lon - I think it was an option for the map pocket. I have seen Formulas that have it.

I'm just happy mine lacks the option.

I kind of like my map pocket. I just don't put anything in it so it doesn't stretch out.
