This is a 1951 model year coupe produced in early 1952. It was restored very correctly by split-window Porsche experts.

http://roadscholars.com/inventory/1951-porsche-356-split-window-coupe/

You'll notice the unique trimming on the edge of the door panels (cloth panel with vinyl edging and pocket), and the upholstery covering the seat hinges on the sides. No pockets in the footwell carpet. Cloth binding on all carpet edges with vinyl on the transmission access cover. The rear seating area has a very thin cushion underneath the carpet. Some had thicker cushions. Headliner is different on the split-window cars compared to later bent-window pre-As.

Yours may or may not be similar, as it depends if your car is a 1950 model year or 1951 model year (both were produced in 1951), and of course cabriolets have very different interiors in many aspects. You'll have to give us more information.

Unfortunately there are not many unrestored cars with complete, original interiors left from 1951. And there was lots of variation. There are good cars that have been restored correctly to use for reference, like the one above.
