Thank you Marc,
You are quite right, I'm glad I put 99% not 100 ! When I got my Ram it had the remains of its seat in it and Chris Wilkinson gave me several damaged ones exactly as the one in the photo. Apart from the lugs on the rails and the bumper to stop the seat going too far back they were identical to the Ram seat. Early Sextons were built on almost unmodified Ram lower hulls. I wonder if these were for them and the modifications were to make the seat fit the more restricted Sexton driver's space caused by the gun mount?
Chris was usually very good at knowing the application of parts (as it was his business) so I never doubted when he told me they were Daimler AC. I did find that the little screw jack was used on 1940s British truck seats, but they always had a higher backed seat though a similar scissors mechanism.
