From the paint and upholstery section . Yours looks Bay window material.

They look to be recovered in 68- later "basket weave" material.

Thats exactly what i thought. The frame of a split recoverd.
But I´m not sure yet.

Yep, a re-cover with later basket-weave upholstery...

Seat frames are right, upholstery is redone.

Original upholstery doesn't wrap so far around the frame and doe not use hog rings to hold anything in place.

Too much wrap

M195 Adjustable bench seat/backrest (until 1963)

I believe M195 is the 2 or 3-spot adjustable back rest you see on pre-1963 Buses

Quite often when you remove that later basketweave vinyl it will reveal original material. I see something peeking from under the basketry on the passenger seat back.

True but be prepared for any original Aero Baleric to be trashed, those later patterns/material didn't last very well.
