Hand Brake Cover
74965-H1000 original type was a beautifully minimalistic piece. Datsun called it the hand brake boot.

B210 intially used the H10 cover but in the second year switched to the H73 part.
B210 cover also fits and is the official supersession part since back in the day.
Top: replacement H73 designed for B210 from July 1974 part, same as B210 | Bottom: original B110 design
Emu-skin cover
H59 cover includes magnetic seat belt holders
Unlike the two other covers, this requires a bracket to bolt to the tunnel
Used by late USA and late Excellent GB211 (1600)
