Default Help with 85 Targa hard top to soft top decision

Can anyone tell me from these pics what hardtop I have on my 85? Thinking about swapping to a soft top instead so I can fold it a little to store it in the front boot.

never seen a hard top like that before . I wonder if its even Porsche or if seomone converted it.. getting a collapsable will be expensive. you may have trouble swapping it.

I am not sure either. Looks like a Porsche folding top with fibreglass panel. That is why. Am thinking about a true folding top. This one is good but I would prefer genuine look. What other pics would you look for Iceman?

I think I know the answer but will this work on my '78SC (if you're selling it of course)?
