Where are these seats from?

By chance I took the kids to the Coal Mine Museum on saturday
whilst LATP was on.
Walking around the Land Rovers late sat afternoon I spotted
these seats in a Series One.
I asked a few other owners if they Knew who's LR it was, or if
they knew where the seats are from, but know one seemed to know.
I've always used standard LR sets but at 5'11" find my eye level
is at the top of the windscreen , which makes me peer under the
top rail slightly which doesn't help an old whiplash injury.
In the past I have experimented with a couple of different
sporty car seats with a thin base, so I sit slightly lower, but
have always found them to be too bulky and a pain to get in/out
of, hence my interest in these seats.
Cheers
Stu

Ah right, I did wonder if they might be too hard.
Thanks for the replies, is the Land Rover somebody's off here,
or did they just show up.
Thanks

If the seats are out of a bin lorry, I'd think it belongs to
steve (OVS).

Looking at the exhaust pipe on that motor I doubt he goes over
anything too bumpy (although it had a 2 or 3 inch lift, body off
the chassis that is).
