True, I think on the lower car those seats are from a Clipper Super. It matches both the book and this other reference photo of a Super. On my car however they are obviously Clipper Deluxe seats, they have the buttons which are unique in style to the 55 Deluxes. So either this was something custom from the factory or both the seats and all 4 door cards were redone with exacting precision and craftsmanship in the past. Here is a picture of the back of the best preserved door card, note the chalk marks and also the armrest metal tabs show no sign of ever being removed. Hope I'm not sounding argumentative. 😃

Another curiosity is the headliner; this Super is obviously Code 23 which along with my car gives a green headliner in the parts book. Yet they both have white vinyl headliners.https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/partslist/index.php?mode=partnumber&SearchValue=462712&ButtonLookup=Go

It's clear that the bulk stock section of the parts book is not comprehensive; there are some trim numbers missing on certain sections. However in the seat section, it lists by trim code, as expected. Oddly the door section doesn't really list possible trim codes for the door cards. And aside from "1st" and "2nd" type headliners, there are only 1 option.
