Phil,
There is a picture of the seats before I redid them at:

I don't think that they different than you have described. Those
springs with the raised portion in the middle that fits in a dish
shaped depression in the seat pans is early TR4 only.

The seats on my car are classic round-back buckets. The picture
on your
website does not look like that. I'm confused. I can email you
a picture
