I think seat airbags started in 2001 with the redesigned seat.

In my experience (Well, both my XK8 and X Type!), the seats are identified as having airbags with a small black tag sewn into the seam that says 'Airbag'. Tag is visible as soon as the relevant door is opened.

+1

And the seat tilt lever also has 'Airbag' moulded into it:

My 2000 XK8 convertible does not have a seat tag, however, the steering wheel center has "airbag" on it, and the owners manual says that the standard feature of this vehicle is DUAL front airbags.

Those dual airbags are the one in the steering wheel for the driver and the one in the dash for the passenger.
