Benny, i decided to order a set. I have a pair of each style of seat so it will be whatever fits best.
tony is doing mine in black roebuck (xy gt) and black cloth inserts (xa gt. This is as per original for this car. The seat frames are from a 72 mk 1 escort and feature a knob to adjust the seat back on the move. Call it a safety item as im not the only one that drives this car.
 
 

Ron, I think you will be happy with the covers sounds nice back to factory specs.
Cannot beat a Factory look holds the value of the car too.

Well I fitted Tony's covers in 1 day, was a fairly straight forward job and my first ever attempt at replacing seat covers, I'm satisfied with the result, the covers fitted really nice, they do require some assistance to try and eliminate the wrinkles, I think I could have gotten the driver seat a tad better, actually I think it's the Brown Paper Ford? used on the upper head rest area that I removed that perhaps added packing out the vinyl?, the passenger seat did not have this brown paper, weird and fitted really nice.
The Seat backs I wrapped in Vinyl all so those clips for seat back if anyone needs them they are the same a Ford Mustang Door Cards, easy & cheap to find. And colour dyed the plastic side cover pieces from Saddle to Black.

looks good just tighten the tops a little to get them loose bits tight

I went and saw Toni this week as I am working in Melbourne. We compared the two types side by side and the only real difference seemed to be the high back headrest which is larger on the tilt lever which is half way up the seat. The rest seemed identical apart from the hook mechanism on the lever for the high up lever. He now has templates for both so that should make everyone's choice easier.
He is a genuine bloke who knows his stuff and I now can't wait to get mine. I'll also get some low backs done when I can afford it. Be careful to order the right grain from him though as he will do either type as long as he knows what your after.

Picked my sets of these covers today and very happy with them. Apparently Benny you had two different types of seats which is why the second looks different and one had the paper over the headrest while the other didn't. Would also suggest that before fitting you use the home steamer to raise the foam to original as this is meant to make it plush again. Will fit mine and show the results. The two types of seat are definitely different so make sure if you order you state which type you have and which grain style you want for a perfect result.

I had no idea about the history of this car I have it's possible my seats were changed over the years who knows, they are High Back seats to me?, I'm more than happy with the seat covers, my first ever attempt at this sort of thing I guess a Steamer would work but too much moisture applied to foam may be bad I think, take it slow. They will require a bit of fighting to fit & tighten, hence why I brought the seats inside my house and wrestled with them on a carpet.
