Re: Back seat
No, the 4 door is rounder at the base corners

Re: Back seat
The backrest (upright part) is no different between a 2door car and a 4door car BUT the backrest part differs with the age of the vehicle. They were taller up to around late 1964 after which the backrest was a little shorter and didn't stand up so high. One benefit of this is that it is easier to fit and use rear seat belts.
As has already been said, the base part of the rear seat has the corners taken off for the 4door models to make access easier through the rear doors. This means that it is possible to fit a seat base from a 4door car to a 2door car, leaving a slight gap in that area, But you cannot fit a 2door seat base into a 4door car.
If you're looking for one, there are generally plenty of rear seats on the market.

Re: Back seat
keep an eye on Ebay. A few on there now. If you're patient you'll eventually get the right colour too.
