Premacy vs Mazda5 interior seats same or different (excluding jump seat)?

:
2008 Mazda5 GT
Does anyone here KNOW if/how the seats are different from overseas Premacy vs US NA Mazda5??

Let's break it down by rows.
US 1st row: Starting 08, we have driver seat arm rests for both front driver and passenger seats. We have side airbags on the chairs. Anything else different from overseas? Do you think the basics of the two chairs are identical? Is there a different seam/cushion pattern? Are the seats the same length/height overall?

US 2nd row: we have two captions chairs and (starting 08?) both chair have TWO arm rest. Premacy has the 7th jump seat (completely folds into the 2nd row passenger side chair) to form a 2nd row bench. They would lose the inner most arm rest on each chair but also gain one larger arm rest that acts as the back support for the jump seta. Anything else different from overseas? Do you think the basics of the two chairs are identical? Is there a different seam/cushion pattern? Are the seats the same length/height overall?

US 3rd row: I can safely assume these are probably the same throughout all equivalent years. Anything else different from overseas?
 
Looking at the RHD brochure, I see that the right middle captain chair has 2 seat belt receptacles (can't find the seat belt straps anywhere) and it looks like the bolsters are asymmetrical - being more "squared-out" inboard so that the 3rd seat behaves more like a continuous bench.

Is this an e-brochure you can share? What I'm really trying to figure out is if Premacy seat covers will fit on a US Mazda5. I hope to confirm a new product that I think a few of you would like. Ok, maybe just me :) Waiting for confirmation before I get my hopes up.
 
Well I got too excited... For whatever reason, it turns out these JDM covers are only available for 99-01 and 2010+ (our 2nd Gen) Premacy. I was hoping I can just buy it directly.


Ok, plan B. Anyone (need 20 ) interested in nicer seat covers? I'll start another thread on this.

Wouldn't a seat-cover be a problem for the seats with the airbag built in? Seems to me that a seat cover would prevent the airbag from deploying correctly.
