Question Do GT3 seats come in different sizes?

Does anybody know the answer? I sat in two different GT3 seats and it seemed like one was meant for taller people. But maybe it was just different thicknesses of the seat bottom cushion.

Pole Positions are similar shape without the big wings up top. The SPG is narrower with better side support but is is narrow. There's also a SPG XL but it's too wide in my opinion.

Pole positions pictured.

Thanks don911!

The aftermarket Recaro's are NICE seats. But I only come close to fitting in the SPG XL. And that seat hunches my shoulders forward in an uncomfortable way. The GT3 seats feel better on my shoulders but I'm not sure that they are tall enough. So that's why I'm wondering about them coming in different sizes.

But why arent they tall enough?

Thanks for the information mambodave. The GT3 is marginal on height, see:

Is this a safe seat back height?

So I was hoping it was just a short version and that I could find a taller version.
