Rear Forward facing seat base size problem

Hi, I''m new here, thanks for having me!

I'm in the process of a hard top to station wagon conversion, currently fitting the rear seats.
The seat bases don't line up with the lower frames (I bought the seats seperately to the frames) and now I'm thinking..... are there 2 types of these seats ..... or 2 frame types??

Looks like the seat bolt holes don't line up with the subframe bought from YRM and the seat bases look smaller than on similar models. So are these 110 seats maybe? any insight appreciated, thanks!

I fear your seats squabs have been shortened, there shouldn't be rivets and glue on the bottom panel

If you measure the length of the bottom squab from the backrest to the forward edge I can measure my seat to compare.

I see, that's a shame

Made a decent job of it though, everything is shortened, the glue and rivets look factory. Why would someone go to the bother?!
Thanks for the offer to measure your foam bases Martin

Thanks again, yeah looks like I have some cut n shut seats. Everything is around 8cm shorter in the squab. Could shorten the lower frame and just go with it , or bite the bullet and get another set
