Any photos of early style seat with canvas rivited on?

Yooper, maybe you just want to know for another reason. But if its the seat you pictured the other day I don't think it ever had a rivet cover. Could be mistaken but the rivet seat pan on a 39 model I had once had drilled holes around the edge. Cover long gone but rivets still in some holes.
 
the 1939 models seat had brass rivets around the edge I have a pan that has the holes but the canvas is long gone. I got one real nice original pan but looking for anther before I have Darrel cover a pair for me. The one that has the holes has alot of welding done on it
 
You are right D Slater, I'm wondering about covering the non-lip flipped over seat I posted a picture of the other day. This is what I am thinking my options are:
1) Pay $145 to get this non-lip pan covered, Darrel Darst said it is an early '39 and '40 pan, and he has a template for drilling holes and attaching with rivets. Only concern here is I don't know what the finished product would look like having never seen one. Having spent a fair amount of money, I'd like it to look sharp/correct.
2) Buy a lipped pan on Ebay, maybe get it home for $40, then another $145 to get it covered.
3) Buy a already canvased flip over seat from EOM tractor parts for $160, but I suspect the canvas quality and stitching quality won't be as good as Darrel's.
I have a black vinyl cover I use now that I'll keep around for when I work the tractor and for storage, just use the canvas for parades, club tractor rides, and hay rides.
 
I have a few of his recovered early seat pans, but they are 300 miles away, and wont be able to get a pic till next month. The work is nice, but not 100% to what they were originally, as there are a few details missing. Trying to get all the details together on this.
 
i have alot of 39' farmall literature but the only picture of the bottom of a seat is on an early 'a' flyer. it shows the rivets on the bottom. the other literature i have shows the h's and m's with a black seat covering over the edge like the 'a' picture i will attempt to load, randy

that style of pan did not make it into production,
but the construction of the seat material to the pan
did.
