S3 console pad

Do all S3 (SE if it makes a difference) come with wrap around (down the sides)
console pads? My Sprint has a flat top pad and I've seen earlier cars with
flat top pads. What would correct here?

edit; some info here viewtopic.php?f=36&t=21421 but I have
a feeling it's a topic without a clear definition.

My S3 Coupe came with the wrap around pad.

Thanks Mike. My non scientific research shows that the early cars, S1 and S2, had flat top
console pads. Then, maybe someone thought the S3 was more luxurious, power windows, carpeting, etc
and thought the wrap around pad looked 'luxo'. Then, it was decided it was too costly to produce
and went back to the flat top pad. Pure speculation here

My understanding is that the wrap around pad was fitted to S/E cars and Sprints, but, it's Lotus...
