Peter,

I believe the material you require is called "Rexine". My impression of the CWM crash pads is that they are likely original. The seats in the Universal Carriers are also made from this material and they wear in an identical manner to what I can see in the CWM picture.

Others have sourced Rexine to reproduce Carrier seats so it must be available somewhere. Obtaining the correct colour may be an issue as the carrier seats are more of a commercial shade of green than a military shade as shown in your images.

I agree that the correct filling will be horsehair.

Good luck,
Colin
