Question Standard to Deluxe interior question

Hi, I am picking up a mint '77 4 speed next weekend. It currently has the standard interior, which I do not prefer. I know the front seats are entirely different. Question is, are the rear seat frames/cushions the same between the trim levels?

Also, are there any additional changes beyond these?

Dash grab strap

Upper door panels

Rear ash trays

Horsecollar seats/different upholstery pattern

Frames are the same. Foam may have to be altered for the horsecollar design. I went from 78 deluxe to the 77 horsecollar design on my TA and changing the shape of the foam was all that was done.

Hey "77CanAmMan" too bad they subbed a Mopar Volare looking "Smokey" but at least they got the colors and LEO door star graphics right? The Travis v Brazos references are spot on BTW.
