Default MK3 Escort Dash Help

I have a MK3 escort dash to go into my car as my one is cracked and beyond repair. I have a problem that I cant locate the lower trim to go below the steering column which is removable.
Does anybody know what this particular part is called or where I can get one from.
All the other MK3 dashboards I have seen have been one peice so this one has me confused.
Any help would be appreciated
I have a picture of the dash but dont know how to put it on here.

The solid plastic dashboards like the one in the picture are from vans and L models. They have the separate piece of trim which unscrews.

GL/Ghia/XR/RS/cabriolet models all have the 1-piece padded dash which does not have a separate piece.
