Is this a S1 or S2 seat?

As the title states can someone please tell me what this seat is - I want the rails to do a VN Calais seat upgrade. Also, if possible, could you please tell me how to tell the difference do so that I won't have to ask again. Thanks in advance. http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...L/P1110035.jpg (http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r87/LOACH_PAUL/P1110035.jpg) http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...L/P1110036.jpg (http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r87/LOACH_PAUL/P1110036.jpg) http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...L/P1110038.jpg (http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r87/LOACH_PAUL/P1110038.jpg)

Sorry I should have been clearer in my Topic line. Only interested in the rails as I want them to fit VN Calais seats to a VL. How can you tell they are S1 rails?

I would say series one, as it's stamped 23NOV86 in the third pic.

Yeah I thought of that but it looks like the stamp is on the foam base. Therefore, not knowing Holden's manufacturing process, I thought it is possible they made a batch of the foam bases at one time and them used them as required possibly overlapping the "S1" and "S2". In addition it is possible that the seat and rails are not actually matched and have been swapped at some point during the cars life. What I was hoping is that there was a way of telling, by looking at the rails whether they are the S2 type and therefore able to be dismantled in order to mix and match with VN rails to get the VN seats to fit as per http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showth...highlight=seat (http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=32325&highlight=seat) I already have 4 spare front seats from various cars at home, I don't really want to buy this for the rails only to find out it wont work and I have another seat to store. I appreciate the replies though.
