Well, I didn't find that trim piece in my parts book or even what group it should be in. '64 Chevelles uses a different boot and retainer than Novas. Both pieces appear to be a Chevelle piece but maybe someone with a later parts book can find the number.

Thanks Ken,
Your carpet ring looks identical to the '64 full size. Here are two pics of mine from directly above, top & bottom.

PS: It mesures 6 3/8" x 7 1/8"

Just in case anyone is interested in the result of the investigation, I found out that this carpet ring is correct for '64-'66 Chevelle. In fact, this one is nos, because the assembly plant stapled it to the carpet and this one has no staple holes. It took awhile, but I just thought I'd share the findings so others would know.
It's going to my buddy who's building a '64 ElCamino bench seat 4-spd.
