1950 Styleline Deluxe 4-dr -- Back of Front Seat?

Finally getting around to working on the interior of my grandpa's Styleline Deluxe, most of which is shot due to too many years parked outside here in the rainy Pac. Northwest. My question is what the back of the front seat looked like originally. I have the attached photo (from the dealer's album) but it doesn't show the back of the front seat. Does the same darker grey fabric extend all the way down the back? Or does it switch to the lighter grey? Or something else entirely? Pics of an original interior would be great or just if someone can describe. Thanks!

@steve-d Thanks Steve, from the photo in that ad it looks like the same darker grey broadcloth fabric that's on the top of the front seat continues all the way down the back. That's helpful!

From a for sale ad. https://classiccars.com/listings/view/1792972/1950-chevrolet-styleline-for-sale-in-cadillac-michigan-49601  

This one might be better

Wow, the interior in that second set of pics looks pristine. Little bit hard to tell but still seems like the back of the seat is similar if not the same as the darker gray on top.

Just added a second site that I think is as good as you will find short of someone with the same model replying. Also  a call/Email to the Tec advisor might be in order. Answering questions like this is right up their alley.

@steve-d Great advice! I'm just getting back into the car and I'd forgotten the tech advisor resource, I'll reach out to them. Thanks again.

Bill D the '51-'52 Technical Advisor is probably who I would go to with those questions. He has been working with the late 40s and early 50s cars for as long as most of us have been alive. The expertise available from VCCA members is without doubt a bargain of VCCA membership.
