Here are the seats 
http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=32958
Looks like the TR250 is it's own thing -- unlike the TR4 or the TR6.

Seems to me the outer padding surround on the seat back is not symmetrical. 
There is a left and 
right to it. But I'll be home tomorrow, and can look at them. But even if it 
is, maybe it's just the 
TR250 and not the TR6. The seat covers on my 71 TR6 (same as 72) are old and 
the PO has "repaired" 
them with some new panels, so I can't tell anything from them.
