It is probably correct, unless this is the same transmission and you 
previously had tire wear issues.  These are alignment shims for setting 
toe-in, and yes, the Corvair drivetrain sits crooked in the cars, by design.

Carpet is preferred over the rubber mats for the reason stated -- 
condensation under the mat and the lack of permeability to let it 
evaporate -- if you have checked with "the vendors" and none appears 
available, probably it isn't.
