Default Seat Identification

I have a Murry 4-door basket case I'm restoring. I found a front seat frame that I thought was correct but now I'm not sure. I need to know what seat frame I have so I can get seat springs for it. The front seat assembly is all metal. It does not have a wood back like most front seats I have seen. It does have wood tacking strips screwed to it. I am having trouble posting a picture of the seat. I'll do that as soon as I can. I know this is not much information but any help is appreciated. What 4 door Model A sedans had all metal seat frames? (there is a wood sub frame under the bottom of the steel seat)

Thanks in advance
Steve

The '31 S/W sedan front seat is all-metal. Here are some photos:

Steve, Doug site is excellent I too have a 31S/W Town sedan. And the front seat assemble is all metal with wood racking strips to attach the fabric to. Came to a halt half way threw it not done yet, doing it myself working a lot of hours at work

Doug- Thanks for the reply. Your seat does look like the one I have. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, I've had problems with my computer. Where did you get the material to refinish your seat? This is the first time I've attempted to do any kind of upholstery work. I really appreciate the help.
Thanks again- Steve
