thanks guys, as always plenty of informed comment on here.
Certainly, my dried out old original seat back looks to be a standard khaki colour not the mid green or grass green that the British Carriers have. That said, that was what was in mine and as far as I know that was the British army refit colour. I have never seen any evidence of black which leads me to think it is the Swiss replacement. Interestingly I was looking around a brand new British Personnel Carrier and it has the same shade of mid green vinyl as fitted to the Carriers, must be a hold over. I guess I will check out the vinyl suppliers and make a choice. Thanks for all the advice

If the T16 seat material is the same us a UC? Then the original material used was not Vinyl but green Rexine. I managed to find a very close modern equivilent Vinyl to make new seats from. I have now managed to replace most of my seats with originals.
Here is an original seat and a modern material back rest. Ron
