MG MGB Technical - MGB overdrive harness - braided?

Hmm. 1973 MGB.

I got a new overdrive/reverse wiring harness from Autosparks. The wires are PVC covered as usual, but the harness is cloth braided. The rest of the harnesses in the car are PVC covered. Did braiding go that late? 1973? I see there is only one part number for the overdrive/reverse harness in the factory parts book, AHC258, which it says begins in 1968. Hmm.

Unlikely I'd have said, FWIW my 73 has plastic-covered. That harness would only have started in 68 with the Mk2 and the LH overdrive, the earlier D-type had a different harness including the relay and vacuum switch that system used.
