Basic, I have seen van seats in Black (Royal Mail) Brown (GPO Telephones I think). No fluting on the covers unlike the cars.
But , if its for a customer they could probably order whatever they wanted. Tip and Fold for the passenger side , sliding adjustment for drivers ( but again they could be extra costs - anyone got an original price list?)

This is what was originally fitted to my 59 built chassis cab (it left the factory in grey primer).

Thanks .........I was given some extra ones with the van when I bought it and the previous owner thought they were original - but they look more like car type to me .....and then I bought some basic lcv ones as temps - but they really look like the right ones - and seeing yours now I think must be .[frame]
