Can somebody share the breakdown on seat rails on a Ghia through the years?

I have a 1959, but at some point somebody installed what I believe are 1963 or '64 seats. My question is are the rails the same or if not when did the rails change?

Thanks
Trevor

Based on KGPR web site, the inner tracks are the same all years but the outer tracks changed in 69

In case anybody is wondering.. the rails may be similar, but the pan shape and distance between rails from lowlight to post lowlight is totally different.

So they won't swap directly as is.
