Not quite, the pattern for the fabric is different. The seat frames are
close in size and style but there are differences (like supporting straps
from side to side on the seat bottom and back on the Mk3 vs a seat diaphragm
on the bottom for the MkIV.

Unique only in North America. ROW did not have these. Also, not necessarily
impossible to find. I got one from TRF three summers ago and it blew off the
bonnet on the Interstate in NY on the way home from the Summer Party two
summers ago. Therefore there should be a spare one at the roadside in NY
state if you want to go looking. Almost new and in great condition :-)
I have one on back order from TRF. I think they are planning another order
from the manufacturer. TRF is the only supplier I have encountered with
these.
