My 67 GT500 has the smooth deluxe seats ( I know this is rare) and I have 2 sets of seats here and I wonder if both are original because there are some differences. The left one is an original in my opinion but is the right one also correct or maybe a later ford part or just a good repro?

I agree with your opinion. Both look to be OEM because of the welting. The left vinyl grain looks more typically assemblyline to me.
