Is this also Parella cloth?

I keep reading how the camel tan parella cloth for the '82 Viscount/PMD seats is now rare and expensive, guessing due to all the KITT clones. Is that parella cloth the same seat material used in later year 3rd gen Firebirds with standard non GTA cloth seats? If so, are the other colors in parella cloth rare as well?

I'm trying to figure out what the cloth seat material in my '87 T/A is called, and whether it is also hard to find or unavailable.

My seats are practically perfect. At lease, I cannot detect any damage or wear on them now, BUT I know in time that will probably change to some degree. If the original, correct seat fabric is still available for my seats I'd like to buy some to put away for the future when I may need it.

From the pics can someone tell me what my cloth seat fabric is called?

It is called Pallex for 1986+... probably earlier too just don't want to look it up right now.
