Default Is this a sport seat?

Hi guys

I found a sport seat on Ebay for a reasonable price - or did I? It arrived UPS, I took it out, checked it out, and sat it in it - and I'm pretty sure this is just a standard seat. I already have standards in the 944. I measure the bolster width at about 5.5" - the same as my 944 seats. I had sport seats 10 years ago in a different car, and I loved them. I remember them really gripping me - these don't, and I don't think I've lost weight since then

Can anybody give me an expert opinion? I thought I'd doublecheck my facts before going back to the seller for a refund.

Thanks

Sport seats have a more distinct bolster, like this

you got ripped off, not only are they standard but they are early manual seats worth around 150-400.00 bucks
