Good question- I think it's mostly because there was not a single 'Leather interior' option, just a series of 'standard' M code options for raff leather seats (for example), and a bunch of individual Exclusive options for leather pod, leather rear seats, etc. There is in fact an option code M981, for leather dash and door panels, but it's used on only two ROW GTSs in '92 and '93, and not on this car.
I don't know if this car has any Z-options on it. Do you have a copy of the cargo floor sticker?

VN indicates a black full leather interior, all the elements that you listed.
VD would be a partial black leather interior, with the headliner, etc, in leatherette.
It's actually the other way around. VN is partial leather/leatherette and VD is full leather. As evidenced by this heavy vinyl 93 GTS on Bringstrailer with a partial leather/leatherette black interior....

And here's another black partial leather/leatherette 1993 928 GTS on BringaTrailer with VN
So VN is definitely black partial leather/leatherette and VD is full black leather interior. Thank you for the info.
It's time for me to study again my 928 books and notes because I was wrong about the interior code, even if my current CS has a VN interior
The former had a KT.
