Looks like that production period had the reinforced felt style with the cut out bumper support notches, being installed in fastbacks at San Jose. Going to be a very tough task to find or make one

Any recommendation for a MCA approved repo mat to use for now?

Is that the solid grey , speckled or plaid? A high quality speckled or plaid mat is available in reproduction but not the grey.

You may still see "MCA Approved" in some advertising but its not true as carlite65 wrote. Likely included to boost sales for some vendors
That stopped decades ago as it was pretty much was a mess to maintain and for other reasons

The felt style in the medium gray as far as I know
