I see what you mean about the ST on the dash.
Mine is different (could be a Puma, can't remember) - however I have never, and will likely never, update it.
Why change what works.

My Jan 22 ST which has Recaros has white stitching I believe and the mats have the ST badge sown into them as per the Mean Green above. I assume the changes the OP mention all came with the change to own brand seats.
Puma ST Agate Black
As far as I know the standard range has the puma cat image on the dash and also projected by the puddle lights where fitted.
It makes sense to have individual details that separate the ST from the rest of the range such as ST on the screens, steering wheel, puddle lights, and yes the mats too.
From what is being said it seems that at least some of these details came about or changed with the introduction of the Ford Performance seats, which was earlier than I thought as confirmed by Denty with the introduction of the ST Gold Edition model.
Just having looked into it a bit further it seems the change to the puddle lights might not have been introduced till later, because the 28 November 2022 price list is still stating Puma logo projection for the ST.
Anyway...some cars will be different, but we are where we are now.

For reference, the Vignale has the Puma logo puddle lights. This has been the case since day one.Ron240 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2024 5:35 pm As far as I know the standard range has the puma cat image on the dash and also projected by the puddle lights where fitted.

Puma ST-Line-Vignale 155 manual, magnetic grey, DAP, electric tailgate. New in December 2021.
My ST 22
Has ST puddle lights and red stitching and ST logo on dash and info screens beosonic and according to the audio guy that came to sort out the awful vibrations the door speakers were good quality
Performance scuff plates also and performance seats which I like better than the recaros
Though mudflaps and ST centre button caps changed by me, though I think should come as standard

ST Performance Grey Matter (Performance Pack / Drivers Assistance Pack / Dark Wheels & Power Tailgate)
To enable direct comparison with others we would need to know a build month, because standard spec can change during the course of a year.
Of course it is not unheard of for official literature to be wrong.
