These seats have a reclining mechanism and cannot be switched side to side due to this. The top of the front seat is more rounded like you are describing. As far as I know, the rear seat design is pretty similar from 78 on, in that it folds and tumbles forward.
Pretty much sums it up.
Mid 86 was interior change. Went from brackets to pedestal seat mount with completely different seat until end of the run in '91.
73-77 low back seat brackets AKA floor mounts will interchange with 78-early 86 seat. Drivers side never changed 73-early 86.

73-78(79) passenger used a hoop bolted to the floor and 80-86 used a catch IN the floor. Looks just the rear seat catch on the fold and tumble seat.
Clear as mud right?
