John, I think the "flecked" dashboard was only found on the very earliest
(maybe 1959 only) Heralds. I'm not sure if the change in finish coincided
with the "realignment" of the switches and knobs, but by 1960 the dash was
more or less just flat/matte/semi-gloss black. (At least those I've seen
here in the States!)
