If I interpret the photos correctly, it looks like it's more of a "macro" matrix (my term, not scientifically-based) bonded to the interior of the clip than the typical CF weave we know today.

From the text:
"Carbon fiber "tow" gridwork is used to reinforce fiberglass bodywork. This is possibly the first use of this technology in a race car. The carbon fiber was used in the original construction of the fenders of 1076 for 12" tires. When the fender flares were added in 1969 for 14" wide wheels carbon fiber was not used."
