Default 996.1 GT3 Seat Colour

My 996.1 GT3 driver's (sports, not bucket) seat need some love and I'm looking at repair and replacement options. What I can't figure out is what colour my seats are ... I'm unsure if they are black or dark grey. My understanding is that the seats in all 996.1 GT3 were the same colour, does anyone know what colour they are? What I have determined is that GT3/GT2/turbo cars, the interior colour code on the vin label doesn't tell you the interior colour (as per Adam Streather's book). I can get a certificate of authenticity from Porsche which will supposedly tell me however these are surpringly expensive here in Australia.

they could be "natural grey" which is nearly black, but not quite.

I find every source gives things slightly different names. In MY2000 there was a Natural Dark Grey (code 01). 'howtoporsche.com' also calls it Natural Dark Grey Leather however gives it a code of D11. From what I can see, it's difficult to tell the black and natural dark grey apart ... at least from a computer screen.

With the under frunk sticker, if you decoded all of the options, one should tell you if it’s natural leather or not.
