From my experience of browsing other peoples cars, it seems the interior options are a tad scattered. My seatbelts are red with black stitching, opposite to yours.
Your passenger side seat looks in amazing condition!

Basically, it crunches when changing from 4th to 5th and into reverse and sometimes 1st is difficult to engage, also the gearstick moves when accelerating in 4th. The clutch pedal creaks but has had the pedal box done. Have heard these are all common problems but not sure of cause? Is it linkage related on box wear?

As Si said, linkage movement is normal.
But all the other issues point to the clutch, not gearbox. Is it the original clutch? If so, at 65k you wnat to be looking at repacing it, not just adjusting the cable.
Ring up GSF, and ask for a SACHs clutch kit, part number 3000581001. Don't worry about engine codes, as both GTi engine codes use the same clutch. Expect to pay under £90 for the kit. And twice as much from VW for a factory recondtioned one, not new. I'd get the cable repaced at the same time also, around £30.
