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

My original cushions came with a load of spares I bought that came back from the Falklands. Here is a shot to show the internal filling. They were also wrapped in brown paper so probably the same source of NOS. Ron
