The spring arrangement looks like parts are missing or the springs may have been replaced. The springs look like the dual compound type, compression on top, and expansion on bottom, but no apparent mechanical attachment in between, making the lower expansion portion nonfunctional.
Once one accepts that parts may have been swapped, could an older piece of leather have been matched with a fairly modern seat frame?
And then some people might like to match new leather with older compound spring seat frames?

Agreed...missing the parts like on the example I posted from eBay...the midspan spring "cups" and "U" shaped strut that goes between the upper section and down through to the bottom of the rear springs.

Now, a question I have for you all, is what does the hardware look like connecting these two spring actions. If anyone has one of the bolts not in a seat(or in a seat that they can get a good picture of, that would be great. Thanks!

For simple compression springs (rear), the springs would attach the same as how the likely replacement compound springs already are shown.
Normally, compound spring arrangements that I have seen, have a staple like u-bolt attached to the top rear of the saddle frame and bolts through the compound springs; (there are more complex arrangements).
The simplest attachments to the middle of the springs, in between the compression and expansion ends, would be horizontal bolts and specially shaped washers for the bolt heads inside the springs. These bolts would attach to the lower portion of the seat frame; (note that the bolt holes in the frame would be horizontal, left-right, and not vertical as seen in your example).
How to make a compound spring seat out of a simpler compression-only spring seat is an interesting idea.

The seat has finally arrived! I will do my best to try and get pictures tonight. Thank you for all of the help!

Tag is illegible, but something I noticed is the oval stamping of a brand. Also illegible with the very faint of letters that I can’t read. Anyone have ideas? What I can tell is the letters are in English.

Another pic. Can kind of read it, but still not well. Any ideas on what to try?

It does! I was able to read the other side better. Genuine Hide Top specifically is what it says. Any idea on brand from that?(not sure if maybe one company preferred “genuine hide top” instead of “genuine leather”
