Here's a close-up view of the 2H1 seat. You can see that it's really two cushions and looks to be made of other than canvas. The second pic is a 2B1 with a good view of the seat back. The third is from the parts list for the 2B1. I have an original rear seat out of a 1A2 box and it's made out of a brown vinyl material. The 2B1 parts list shows the same part number as the 1A2 so they're two regular CMP seat bottoms only covered with brown vinyl. There's no colour option for the rear seat bottoms in any of the parts lists. The part # 1411 seat cushion is used on the following in the 1942 illustrated body parts list:
1A1 personnel carrier (3)
1A2 wireless (2 or 3)
2B1 cable layer (4)
2B1 anti tank tractor (4)
2B1 personnel carrier (2+4)
Cab 11 FAT (6)
30 cwt ambulance (1)
This kind of leads me to think that all the rear seat cushions with the exception of the 2A1 variants were the brown vinyl covered ones.The 2A1s used the 1151 cushion assembly but there's a note to replace with the 1411.
I have nothing to indicate how the 1511 would be different. Colour maybe?
