I just ordered a mesh package tray (with the jute padding) from Ames. I needed to do this (with the mesh) since I installed a rear speaker. The previous tray was not mesh. From reading my PHS docs I can tell that my car originally came with the verbaphonic setup, so adding a rear speaker made sense.
I can tell you that that the new package tray from Ames is significantly shinier and is textured. The current tray is a flatter black with no texture. I "think" the tray that I had may have been an original, (or a really old repro) ...but not for the documented setup of my car. It is still in excellent shape, but is more of a flat black and the thin strip of foam padding is yellowed and old. (also in good shape and not deteriorated) Regardless, I'm happy with the new tray. I'm not sure what PY offers.
I did however have problems with the old tray and plan on securing the new one down with some Super77, and possibly use the screw down speaker grill (if I confirm that this was an original item). My related post can be found here;

Let me know if you'd like pictures of my old and new (Ames) tray... as the black&whites from the catalogs do not do justice for what you're really looking for.

The package tray in mine is probably the original..............ist's just a flat brown....nothing fancy as my car is the bottom of the line Tempest..............has water damage from a leaky window which I am fixing.............the one thing I noticed is that the side strips appear only to come in black............where can I get brown?

I don't think PY carries them at all. And Ames only only has them black, and even then they are listed as "new". So good luck.

Ames lists Package Trays in a variety of colors for $25 including jute padding and vinyl strip. I'm gonna call them to make sure they are the end strips. Also gonna call PY.
