Did they ever make Leather seats for 245s? Can rear seat headrests be retrofitted to an '80? 200 1980

A couple of questions...

I have an '80 245 DL with 417K miles... The seats are all original, and as you can imagine, they have been showing thier age for about 15 years now. They are completely ripped up all over the place... I have some cheap garbage covers on them now, but it's time for something nice.

My question, did they ever make Leather seats for Wagons? I know they did for sedans, but they used vinyl only in Wagons, and cloth only in sedans... Don't know if the Leather was only for one type or another.

The other question: Since I'm going to go ahead and replace the entire back seat as well, is it possible to put a seat in from one of those later 240s that has rear seat head rests? I know it's not safe to just drill holes in the top of the seat and throw some head rests in there...

What years would I need to yank those back seat parts from? Any additional/different mounting brackets? Were there any that were leather?

And finally! How do I replace that metal bracket on the bottom of that little extra section of "floor" you put down when the back seat is folded down? Mine was once held in by what looks like a bunch of staples, but it's come completely unattached now. (It might have screws in it, but I haven't looked in a long while...

Thanks as usual.
