Default Seat Escutcheon

Does anyone have pictures of the front and back of a non broken seat back release Escutcheon (GJE4762AA)? I have no idea how these are supposed to mount.

Mine are basically held in place by 15 years of neglect and now sit there mocking me (no screws or rear tabs).

I may have to get something custom but I have no idea how they are supposed to connect. I don't see any screw threads inside the seat.

Any leads on a non broken set, pictures, braille descriptions, hyroglyphs, etc would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

BobRoy showed how the 1997 connects.

I really need to see the 2000+ arrangement. Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Just to close this out, I broke down and bought a seat pair from a breaker.

There is no way to remove these with the leather on (as far as I can tell)

Anyway here are pics for posterity.

Front Seat Backrest Trim Panel 76.70.03
Removal
1. Using rear passenger access knob, release the seat back and move it to the fully forward position.
2. Remove rear access knob and escutcheon.
With a small flat bladed screwdriver, ease open the knob stem to clear the seat lever tang and remove the
knob.
Carefully ease knob escutcheon from two studs.
Slacken and remove two screws.
3. Slacken and remove the two screws securing the lower section of the seat back finisher to the frame.






Once I had the knob removed, I inserted an old bicycle tire tool to gently pull the tabs in so that the escutcheon could be pull off.
