Default Can I use RHD seats in LHD early S-type?

Can I use a set of front seats from an early RHD S-type in a LHD car of the same series?
If so, what would need to be done (if anything) to adapt wiring, sensors etc?
Do the drivers seat or passenger seat have sensors that make them "sided"?
Thank you for any advice.

The controls would be on the wrong side for one thing.

Passenger seat has live and earth cables for motors, and live and earth for airbag. Just 4 cables.
Drivers seat has the same 4 cables, but another 8 besides.....
I don't understand why, because the drivers seat doesn't do anything more the passenger seat.....
Guess I can't swap them over easily then.
Ho hum.

Both front seats have the same adjustments.... so why the 8 extra cables for drivers seat?
Maybe there is a module under there.. will take a look.
