Can I get some help identifying these Recaro seats please?

Greetings from very wet and soggy Southern California. Can I get some help identifying these Recaro seats please? Once identified I also need to track down a replacement circular knob for the headrest adjustment, greyhound managed to destroy that when they shipped it to me.

I am somewhat disappointed to have to report that our poodle was not able to help at all here, but she tried.

Thanks!

An LS (Idealsitz) to my eye. Many on here know more than I. For what it’s worth, I believe Recaro is reissuing some of their old offerings. If you can’t find a used knob, Recaro might be able to assist.

Here are a couple of pages from a Recaro catalog that look close. Compare the published dimension with your seats for a tighter match. I've got a pair of LS seats. Yours look the same.

Thank you for all of the responses and great information.

I believe these to be Recaro LSC Idealsitz seats that have been somewhat poorly recovered.

The extendable front bottom seat cushion is a key tell, along with location of adjusters.

Found this, assuming the listing is correct, for confirmation.

I need to source a replacement round knob adjuster, any ideas on that?

Thanks again gentlemen.

Hard to tell from the angle of the photos, but I think those may have the ‘B’ cushion. I’m not very good at age-spotting but I think yours are probably from the early 80s or maybe late 70s.
