Looks like that is a standard sports leather seat.

You need to replace from the same era of Omega-B, ie, if yours is PFL, you need a PFL. If it's MFL, you need a MFL seat. If it's FL, you need a FL seat.  If you couldn't care less about seat heaters and the active head restraints, you can mix MFL and FL.  PFL use a different seatbelt pretensioner to MFL/FL, so can't be mixed.

the seat is from a 2000s car so i suppose it's a MFL (the grill has a chrome line in the middle)
is this type of seats have side airbag? i cant see on the pictures what i got from the seller

You can refit the existing components to the new seats making it plug and play.

Most people are too lazy to do that level of work.

The photo you’ve attached looks like a facelift dash, note the square edge of the dash canopy in the centre. On a facelift model, the dash canopy encapsulates both of the centre dash air vents, whereas the Pre-Facelift slopes down to the centre of the two vents.  :y
I’d hazard a guess at them being MV6 sports seats in a model year 2000.  :-\

Some bits aren't really viable to swap over, hence original overview still stands ;)

1994-1997 model years = PFL
1998-1999 model years = MFL
2000-2003 model years = FL

Take out your rear seat.

Go collect.

Fit the new rear seat then load the front seats.

Watch the seat rails in the trim and back seats.
