Sambo, yes exactly it all comes down to the certification paperwork. If it is an aftermarket seat, do not just assume an ADR 3/03 label will be suitable, you may need a copy of the test report. For production seats, you may need to prove which vehicle they have come from.
We have seen a lot of manufacturers that have parts labelled as compliant, even with compliance marks moulded into or attched to the product, yet they are unable to provide the required paperwork to back it up.

JD, you could bulkhead secure the seats. Check with your engineer on the requirements, but if the seats are fixed and structurally mounted to the rear bulkhead you do not require any certification for the seats. They still need to meet the height requirements though.
Not sure how well that would work or look in a Cobra, but pretty common practice in GT40's.
