Keep in mind that at least in the US, there was no "installed by the factory" radio for '02s.  So either the dealer or the first owner installed what they wanted. 

 

The speaker grille in your picture appears to be the correct, as it originally filled in the lower portion of the center console, between the bottom edge of the radio chassis and the trailing edge of the console, just ahead of the shift boot (at least on short console cars).  It takes a 4x6" speaker.

 

I've no seen the other three pieces; the center one appears to support the radio, but I don't see how the side pieces are used with either a long or short console.

Remembering that US cars came with no radio and not even an apparent way to mount one, and our consoles--long or short--came with a wood (or later plastic) crosspiece at the top (where the speaker is in your picture) containing an ashtray.  So most owners or dealers hung their radio from the bottom of the ashtray-containing crosspiece, and then filled the space below the radio--and out to the front edge of the console with that speaker cover--which on the once I've seen (and that lurk in my parts stash) are actually rectangular.  

 

So, I guess that may be a difference between Euro radio installations and those here in the States.

 

Very cool Euro multiband Blaupunkt radio, BTW...

If you look at this picture, it indeed appears to be original mounting parts and speaker grill for 2002

Do you happen to have a picture of the rectangular speaker grill mounted in a console in a 2002?

Sorry--I have an old rusty grille but never used it.  My radios are fastened beneath the ashtray holder on the '69, and in the Frigiking A/C housing on my 73.  But I can take a picture of my rusty speaker grille if you need one.

My  US ‘72 with a fairly original interior has the set up as described by Mike with a slightly trapezoid cover.  Tom

I think you are misunderstanding, Mike's speaker grill is rectangular, not trapezoid
