#1 Should there be foam underneath the vinyl ?

Hi, I'm in the process of re trimming my series 1 2+2 .
The panel in the photo seems to be the original Jaguar item, grey vinyl, overpainted black in the late 70's. There is no sign of any foam under the vinyl. Is that correct?

I would have thought so yes. 1/8" foam.
