Seat differences

Looking at some F10s online and I noticed that these 2015s had subtly different seats. The spec lists read the same, so I'm baffled. Will a VIN decoder solve the mystery? Pics below. Check out the join in the seat back.

Looks like the same, base seat. Stitching may be different, but the basic seat looks the same to me.

The other seat is the Comfort Seat. There are various options for both seats, though the comfort seat has more.

Yes, both are the base seats. The top (nicer looking) seats are Nappa leather (was $1K option in US, if I remember correctly). The other - Dakota leather.

Both are Dakota leather. Only difference is TOP seats comes with the luxury line cars and bottom seats are no line (standard). Seats are same just stitching slightly different

It can get confusing because you have the style of the seat then the finish/covering of the seat. In the U.S. there is a couple styles and several finishes/coverings.
That same style with Merino leather looks quite different for example.
