Can anyone identify these seats?  They look like regular Mk2 Escort seats except that they have no recline adjustment all, and only one seat has a tilt mechanism (silver handle visible in the photo) that releases the backrest via a latch at the center rear of the seat rest.
 
Thanks in advance.

I have some with same tilt mechanism, they were from a Mk1 Escort 2dr. Think they both had tilt mech though.

Tilt lever and high back puts it at around 72. Maybe a corolla 2 door.

My 2 cents worth..........Mk1 Escort 2 door or Mk1 / Mk2 Escort Panel Van. I had about 3 sets of these in beige. 
 
Pretty sure the panel van seats only had a tilt mechanism on the passenger seat.
Cheers, Craig.

I brought a set of seats with one tilt on the passenger side, they are out of a van the passenger side tilts so you can get the spare out, so i have been told.

Thanks for all the replies. Looks like they are van seats as I suspected, although Ford must have really been trying to keep costs down to eliminate the recline mechanism and have only one tilt.
 
Does anyone have a cover for the right hand bracket, as shown in this photo?

If either Tilt Forward, that one is a Mk2 Van Passenger seat, the tilt plus Max forward on seat rails made retrieving and replacing the Spare easier.!!

I had one of those style as a passengers seat in my MK1 van, it appears to be original as well. I don't know where the original drivers seat went as the one that was installed was defiantly not from a escort but I replaced it with the same style as the passengers. I was on the assumption that both the van seats were suppose to be of this style or am I mistaken with the drivers meant to be a reclaimable? 

Also with the fold forward style seats and original 12" wheels with 155 tires I still cant fit the spare wheel behind the seat. Why might that be?
