Aha, you've found a set of the infamous Moss Motors "fit just like the
original parts" set of side curtains. Years ago, the side curtains on
my TR-3 were getting pretty tatty, and Moss advertised these curtains
(as did J.C. Whitney as I recall); the photo looked good (from a
distance) and the price was right for my extremely limited budget
so I decided to buy a set. Big mistake, in fact, this was one of the
incidents that drove me to become a big supporter of TRF in their
early days but that's another rant, I guess.
I think I've still got that set up in the attic somewhere...
