I have seats but I spoke to Kilbohatescross last week who was looking for similar. He said mine are not 3 point. Can somebody put up pics to educate us/me on the difference?

3 point seats used one triangular shaped mounting on the floorpan,which supports the middle of the front of the seatbase.
this type of seat used a lever mounted on the chassis centre tunnell to adjust the seat forwards and backwards. DSC_0070.jpgDSC_0072.jpg
the earlier 2 runner seats were adjusted forwards and backwards with a little lever which is mounted on the seatbase itself,

The older type seats have a more or less flat base and back (like the red seat in your pic) compared to the slightly raised sides of your later type seat, nice and all that it would be I will fit older seats for an easy life. Thanks for putting up the pics.
