Yes they do. From mid 1995 onwards the seat bases are the same, pre 1995 are original Jay seats which are narrower.

So if you have an August 95 (N) then there is a very good chance you have the wider base.

But some late M reg Discovery's are known to have the classic base. Maybe it changed around the Spring/Summer part of 1995.
 
I have fitted RR seats to a 1991 Discovery, and also a full set front and rear seats from a 1991 RR in a 1996 auto Discovery. Fitted straight in using all the original fittings and bolts.
Makes them much more comfortable to drive.
 
I put some soft dash RRC ('95) seats into my '98 D1 a few weeks ago. These are the seat bases side by side -

D1 seat on LHS, RRC on RHS. As you can see the RRC base is missing the return bracket, but both rails have the double holes at the bottom of the picture... which matches up with double holes on the seat mounting brackets on the floorpan -

So the seats bolt up fine. The rears are straightforward like for like replacements.

They are, my response was more aimed at the comment mentioning the lack of good ones to be had ;)

Although it has to be said that it is perfectly possible to fit any seat in a Disco and I have seen at least 5 different seats fitted in them, the nicest were Saab 93 leather arm chairs, only the backs would cause an issue but could be done if you got creative.
 
I couldn't find any decent tan RRC ones, so bought the grey ones. I didn't want D1 seats, only RRC ones as they're far more comfy - IMHO ;) Downside is that I need to swap out all the interior now! OK, to be honest I was going to rip out the interior anyway as while its not cracked/smashed, it is covered in sticky sweets and mould :doh: As a friend is breaking his D1 with a grey interior I already have the full setup available to me when I get the chance to do the swap.

I found that tan RRC seats go for silly money but grey is cheap :confused: Well, cheapish. I paid £100 for mine but had to do a return trip to Coventry to get them! I wanted cloth as the leather is cold in winter and hot in summer - but it is wipe clean so if you're going to offroad your D1 then leather is probably the best option - I'll have to fit seat covers.

Have you considered doing a part interior change?
Nicola and I have discussed acquiring a set of grey seats, dying them black and changing a few of the tan trim pieces to black with some vinylcote type products.
Our headlining needs some attention as it's not in fantastic condition and I was thinking about black suede if we went the part black / part tan route with the rest of the interior?
