Default 993 seat motor interchangeability?

Hi all, hoping someone can confirm whether all factory 993 seats shared the same electric motors please?

Main seat types, if not mistaken, are:
  • Early Sport Seats - softback big bolster
  • Later Sport Seats - hardback shell
  • Standard/Comfort Seats - perforated leather
  • Standard/Comfort Seats - ruffled leather

But did they share they same 4 way motors / are the motors interchangeable?

Thanks for the tip - appreciated! It's a shame your PDF isn't searchable (seems to have been scanned as an image) but luckily this one is:

Back to the question, it seems as though the motors are indeed interchangeable, and all seats share the same 2 motor types:
