Seat identification

Attached find a shot of the original seats I removed from my 1958 Elva Courier. Are these MGA seats?

They don't appear to be MGA seats from what I have seen searching on line photos https://www.mgcars.org.uk/mgccmga/gallery/P1010326.jpg

Not MGA - can't tell if they're even MG...

I believe you're right--They are shaped similar to MG seats but have at least one too many panel. My Courier is an early one--#15--and I know they used a lot of TR and MG parts, probably whatever fell to hand. Here's another shot showing the seat cushion--definitely different than what is on the MG Guru site.

I was hoping to find a good home for them--they're not supportive enough for racing and I'm replacing them with Kirkey vintage seats.

I'm guessing Triumph seats. TR4 maybe?

They do look like MGA competition seats. I've never seen a set in person. But they could be shared between a few different cars, especially as competition parts.

I cannot download the picture of the seats in question...but from what I remember (before the change in this forum) they looked similar to the seats in this Inskip MGTD:

Maybe someone can compare and contrast?

The rails on the bottom look MGA....What are the measurements of them?(height of back, width of back, length of bottom, width of bottom)
