Granted, the seats were in superb condition to start with, but now they are just gorgeous. So, now I'm eager to "Leatherique" the remaining leather parts of the interior (I'll be doing the rear seats later).

Many, many thanks, and a very Happy Fathers' Day to all the daddys in the group!

The answer is, "it depends". As in how was your car ordered. There were many options available. My car was ordered with "full leather" complete. Included dash, door tops, door panels, rear tray, rear seats. In other words anything you touch that looks like leather, is leather. It was a rather pricey upgrade!
That said, it should be rather easy to determine vinyl from leather if you look carefully.
Vinyl feels different to the touch and the texture is quite different. Also you can, if possible , find some place the get a look at the back of the material and you will see a fabric type look if it is vinyl.
Good luck
