Nope they are the same, as are the front seats of ALL the Minor varients (2 door, 4 door, convertible, traveller, van, pickup).

Of course the different seats that ARE out there changed a lot from different eras of production and mostly all are interchangeable (except the early lowlight ones on wooden rails). Also the trim differed with the vans/pickups and deluxe car models but a lot of that depended upon the year of manufacture.

What are you planning to do?

Ok. That should be fine then.

Just make sure that they are the same in terms of folding or not. Although the later ones fitted to the 2 door did not fold either making access to the rear a little awkward but still possible.

Yes that sounds right for a '65 saloon. I think they changed over at the '64 facelift. My '63 has the older style seats, but my '69 saloon and '70 traveller have the non-folding ones like yours, so yes, I'd say that was correct.
