For a comparison, here are mine that were reupholstered by Tracey at 7 County Austins. They are apparently exact replicas of the Ruby design.
All the best.

Bill, your seats could be from any austin 7.
You can't go by the covers, as they are cheap pull overs. The original Ruby seats were fitted in four parts.
The seat hinges are the first give away. But the hinges can't be seen on yours.
The hinges on the seats we done for Matt are late Ruby. You can see the adjusters.
The hinges on the early Ruby are two straight bars. With adjustable notches cut out.
Pre Ruby have a seperate hinge, that rivets to the floor frame. With 3 rivets.
After that it gets a little trickier, you have to check the strengthening pattern in the seat back.
Thanks for the advertising Matt, I noticed the work. Before you pointed out they were done by use.
Thanks Tony.
