After market 2nd row custom van seats with the fold down wood cup holder and it you look at the top of the center consol it has a FORD type release handle on it . That and the seat skirts give it away as aftermarket van seats .Also the wear pattern on the seats themselves .

BUT ... If you find the right upholstery shop they can be made to very closely look like buddies .
