[quote=monstermooThere's also some left over square weave carpet behind the back seat (the rest was removed for some reason)and this is a white/beige colour as well - definitely not anthracite???

I think it is most likely that your car had Anthracite carpet in the front and a different colour in the rear, such as silver/grey or oatmeal. Most seemed to follow this trend.
Agreed Peter. No idea why VW did it, and it doesn't seem to be documented very well anywhere (or at least not accurately), but different colour carpets were often used for the rear luggage area vs. the rest of the car. Just been looking at my Ceramic Green '60 and the luggage area has Oatmeal carpet and the front has Anthractite (all original).
