This might be sound kind of dumb but I really cant tell exactly what type of seats are in my Fox. It's an 84 Capri but i'm not even sure if the seats are original to be honest.

Not original to your Capri

The seats themselves look to be 83 to early 84 design without the movable knee bolster which came in 84 +. The material does look like SVO.

The seats currently are equipped with non-netted halo headrests. Basically I want to get a positive ID on these seats so I can decide if I should find a different pair or possibly find a kit to restore these ones.

Escort GT/ Tempo sport seats
I'm thinking Thunderbird Fila. They also had the SVO type material.

The back seat appears to be original. Front seats were transplanted or recovered for sure.

I just looked at the material, but I agree the foam is definitely not SVO.
My guess would be stock seats with SVO foam, although Escort/Tempo seats could be a possibility.

If you measure the height of the back of the seat frame, it will pretty much tell you what size car its out of. Escort and tempo seats swap right onto mustang and most other fox seat tracks. When I was a kid and my seat back broke, I used to look for 2 door escort gt seats. They were generally in better shape then mustang ones.
The 24" tall back height is most likely a tempo/escort seat.
Most stang seats are also 24" tall. My 86 tbird came with 24" tall seats, but when I swapped in the power sport seat from my 88xr7, the headrest was noticeably higher. I also swapped in some 89 gt seats into my old 87 tbird and it was also noticeably taller.
