Interesting discussion and a term that I see misused all the time. I see
Restored in the title but then look at the car and see it lowered, odd wheels and disc brakes, not to mention a modern V8! Restored means to put it back to the way it left the factory but that said, some parts are indeed unobtanium and other parts might be better updated as long as the appearance remains the same. For example, I am not adverse at all to LED lighting to add a level of safety or certain solid state components to add a level of dependability.

I’m running into the same dilemma with my std 8 in finding the original fabric pattern and type of cloth that the factory used, to cover my seats, without breaking the bank. If i use non original fabric to upholster my seats, then is it original?? Same with my door panels, they look old and faded but are all there and original (see pic). Would love for them to be pristine, but will leave them as is for now.
Aren't those seat covers? If so, the original upholstery should be underneath.
