At what point in production did Porsche add the mounts for head rests? Will these work on my 1960 seats?

They were available at least since the T2 version in '57 where they are listed in the accessory brochure. Interestingly enough, the early A brochure does not list them but in that catalog a picture for fitted luggage shows a headrest on the seat.

In other words, they were available for you '60.
