Question Tudor front seat "cups"; 2 different heights??

I have two pairs of front seats for an A Tudor.
Their cups are two different heights.

Is this an early vs late Model A thing?
Are reproduction cups tall or short?

One is ~0.75" tall, the other is almost 1.5" tall.
One of them is from 1928, the other, I don't know.

Tall one is '30 Tudor.
Don't know what the short one is but the Judging Standards should tell you.
Everyone who has a Model A should own or have access to them.
I have never and will never have a car judged, but have found them to be a worthwhile resource.....

I had the taller ones on a ‘29 Tudor. I switched to the short ones, It seems to give the seats more of a reclining position. The car isn’t judged, just driven for enjoyment.

The judging guide says nothing about them, just to check them. I just made a post about my '28.......now I really confused.
