    Look like 76 sport seat option to me.
    I have been trying to buy a set of these so have spent some time doing research on them. These seats are in my 77 Carrera 3.o.

    This photo is of a Porsche Mid-year Recaro sport seat. The best "tell" for the '74-80???? sport seat is the exposed hinge control bar across the rear. The bar disappeared in the next iteration of the seats.

    The last photo is the same seats recovered in black leather.

    The brown seat above has the round tilt backrest knob,pretty sure that is an early 74/75 seat as they changed to later square style after that.
