Here are some pictures of the Commando production racer seat style sold by Mick Hemmings* and The Norvil Motorcycle Company, together with a Norton poster from the era. The seat base on these is a simple GRP pan with the cover folded around and underneath. Gus Kuhn went their own way and had various styles of seat however, the picture in Roy Bacon's book looks very close to the Norton poster which is more elaborate. It's possible that the originals did not have a separate seat pan and went straight onto the tail fairing.

*Andover Norton bought Mick Hemmings' "Norvil" line.
