As noted, your panel seems to not be a full custom, but ordered with a chrome grill and bumpers. The seat is a bigger mystery, as it seems to not be the material found in a 1964-66 Suburban front bench and jump seat. Your seat is the same as my 1962 GMC K1000 Suburban with Deluxe interior. I'd guess the seat was installed in place of the factory panel bucket seats some time after delivery, either from NOS or a used Suburban source. That may mean for full orginality, buckets would have to be installed, but I wouldn't. I'd reupholster the bench/jump seat in either Deluxe or Custom vinyl of that year. Probably custom. That seat cover would go great in my 1962 K1000.

If as you think, the bench/jump seat was ordered and installed at the factory, it is odd that it wouldn't have the same vinyl as used in that year of Deluxe interiors.
