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.

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