I did a search on eBay and all of the sport seats with the correct pattern had the hard shell back. None of the backs were covered in leather. I can tell it may take me a while to find a set.
Depending on how you interpret the option code, it could mean leather covered seating area, with hard shell back. However, I have seen seats with full leather, including the back. Likely rare as hens teeth, so if it's a good price, and a true sport seat with hard shell back you might want to pick it up, and just have the back covered with a decent grade of leather.

These are sportseats indeed and I have them in my 01/1998 996. So I guess they are also in MY99 cars.
Option code 375/376. See attached options overview for my car.
