Default 996 GT3 with Natural Brown

I came across a GT3 door in natural brown on ebay and it looked amazing. It got me thinking since I wasn't positive that 996 GT3's came with natural brown. Does anyone here have one that they could post pics of?

Search Matt's (930man) past posts as he had a Carrara White/Natural Brown 6GT3 about 8 years ago.

(Although it currently has the aftermarket race buckets in it, instead of the original natural brown sport seats!)

The gt3 I just purchased has natural brown. I have never been a fan of brown interiors in general, but when I saw this one I was in love. Very different color and feel compared to the typcal savana beige and other "brown" variants I have seen in various Porsche models (it is darker). According to the sticker I have, the "natural" leather option cost over 5k. Natural grey is the other "natural leather" option. Apparently, the "natural leathers" are dyed differently at the factory, which is why they feel and wear better than the standard factory leather, and the factory cherry picks the best hides for use in this option.

I saw a list on rennlist a while back that itemized exterior/interior color combos for the North American GT3 sales, and if I recall correctly there were less than 10 natural brown gt3's sold in North America for model years 2004-2005. Below is a crappy pic (I also attached a pdf from the prior owner). I Will post more when I get my car back form the shop (coolant pipes, lwfw, etc.... The pictures don't do the color justice.
