thstone - does that shifter have a Porsche part number in it? Honestly, its white plastic cross-pivot piece (shown circled, in attached picture) looks like what I would expect to find on a factory 9x6 shifter.

I believe the black plastic cross-pivot piece (found, for example, in the 9x7 shifter part number 997.424.010.00) raises the primary pivot point for determining front-back travel by a few millimeters compared to this white piece.
