G'day Wolf
The seat bases and backs are totally interchangeable, until 1966 when they went to tubular frames.
The bases are different, but only because the Bugeye seats had a mesh insert at the base (for drainage?). Otherwise the size and shape are identical to Mk II and Mk III seats. I will send you pictures.
The backs are the same size, shape and curvature, but the later ones were a little stiffer.
Bottom line is: strip off the vinyl and foam, clean and paint them, and re-trim them in the Bugeye pattern, and no-one will ever know the difference. Well actually, the anal retentive Concourse judge will know when he picks up the seat base and notices there is no mesh insert.
