Default What are these bucket seats out of?

I was told by the previous owner they are Torino, but I haven't been able to find what year or if they are even really Tornio. They have plastic backs and a square chrome lever on the side that needs to be lifted to unlock the back. They originally had small headrests I removed. Hope these pictures are good enough, I'll take some better photos if needed.

They look like 68/69 Mustang, which is about the same as Torino. Console looks like 63ish thunderbird.

The seats aren't Mustang, the release lever is different. The console is Falcon.

Mustang II the lever on side and plastic backs. Similar to Fairmont and continued on in P71 Crown Victoria's.
