Is it possible to know which straps are suitable for a Carrera calibre Heuer 01 CAR201Z code?

FT6046 it's one
FT6122 (perhaps)
...
It there any correlation guide, to know which straps gor a certain watch?

Ask TAG would be my advice. H01 is tricky because there are many models and straps and at glance one could guess that many fit many models. This is not the case, TAG hates it when customers mix straps so they drill the holds for the springbars in different places on different models.

Read about my mistake of not asking TAG http://tagheuerenthusiast.blogspot.com/2020/05/feature-curious-case-of-ill-fitting.html?m=0

And oh, dont trust the AD's either. I was fooled by an AD who confirmed that the brown alligator would fit my model...

Thank you both.
If I understand correctly, I can settle my CAR201Z.FT6046 only with an additional steel strap. None in leather fits the watch. This TH policy is truly incomprehensible.
I would have bought an extra strap and, like me, others.
It is also frustrating that you need to ask TH or AD for strap compatibility.
It would be easier if there was a technical catalog to guide us to do it ourselves.

here:

as a 2017 UPDATES

we can read about two new straps for the Carrera Heuer-01 43mm: grey and brown leather one.

So I will ask to TH, but i am quite optimistic about the compatibility of the brown leather strap with my CAR201Z

Yup TAG misses a huge opportunity to earn exra on straps... makes no sense

Sure! The idea of interchangeability of the straps of the connected series is fantastic. The watch could be even more a fashion object adaptable to situations and mood.

Yes, and the 2nd generation of the TH Connected -the Modular 45- is the king in that! 😉 Even the buckles, lugs, and heads are interchangeable, and there are 27 different TH straps and bracelets for it! 👍

the same policy for watches of the most classic and traditional lines, imho, would not be a debasement or a fall in style, but the possibility of living your watch ALSO in a different way

Updating:
a TH store told me that the FT6122 strap (fitted on CAR201W.FT6122) does not fits on CAR201Z that mount FT6046. Unbelievable two identical watches that cannot exchange straps. What nonsense

But yes I agree, it is so idiotic
