Are these actually A body seats?

Look underneath for tags and markings
What's on the tag and the numbers on the foam
sure look like A-body tracks - can you cut off a couple of hog rings and actually show us what the hinge area on each side looks like? The contour of the seat foam looks a lot like 1970 seats with the center insert running all the way to the skirt in front. What does the seat back look like?
I believe these are later (75/6) A body seats. I had some like this in a 75 valiant brougham. They could also have been from an F body, possibly.
That’s the same looking seats from my 74 duster. 75 duster are a different pattern at the top. These are 75 seats. Kim
Got a better pic of the hinge cover? Look like 73-up A, 73-74 E body. Tracks look like 73-up A body.

I had two Valiant Brougham 4 drs, a 74 and a 75. They both had seats like that and buddy seats.
Yes, they look like Valiant Brougham/Dart SE buckets. Mine is a '75.
I'm pretty sure I've seen that pattern in a 75/76 Dart sport, but if they are velour, and I believe they are, they are Valiant Brougham/Dart SE.
Those could also be had in 4 door cars. Do they tilt forward? The ones in 4 doors didn't but should be able to be modified to do so.

They look like my old 76 Swinger seats.
Velour and all.

That's exactly what I did to put buckets in my Duster. 4 door car and had some latches cut that matched the factory latch closely enough.
Seat latches for buckets out of a 4 door
Bought a couple of buckets out of a 4 door Valiant a while back and have been working on cleaning them up and getting them functional. Tracks were pretty sticky, and one was missing a roller guide, but I think I am past those hurdles. The problem that caught me off guard is the latch...

Sticks in my head that having a map pocket on the back of the seat is a indicator that the seat came out of a 4 door Brougham. I know mine has a map pocket.
Yup, 75/76 Dart S/E or Valiant Brought.
If you’re gonna be cruising lots the newer seats are lots more comfy. Kim
That's my plan is for summer cruising not a show car and not one care about originality. I'm sure someone on here would be interested in the buckets
