Post subject:  Low back front seats with spring hooks?

I've got the seats for the Cooper S all retrimmed and ready to go, but they've got a different set of front seat frames to the ones delivered on the car...

These have a spring hook to stop the seats from swinging forward.

They're easily enough removed from the frames if I wish, but when did the lowback seat minis start to become available with the spring hooks mounted on the frames? I guess it would have coincided with the wire loops being mounted in the rear floors as well..It's not a case of accidental clubman frames being used (I think) as I have another set of powder blue seats Mini K seats with the same affliction...

any ideas?

This type of seat was first used on the Mini with lift up door handles, Both Mini K & Cooper S,
As A matter of interest The lift up door was originally designed for the round nose Mini, and was eventually used on the Mini Clubman
