I took lots of photos before disassembly except for the one I needed. Thanks again for your help with this seemingly never ending project.

My very original 71 has both seats having the canted to the left (driver side)

Michael,

To clarify, you're saying choice B, correct?

Mark, My apology. The canted edge would be to the left (inward for the pass. seat) and outward (to to left) for the Dr. side seat. Sorry for the confusion.
