So I’ve finally got around to dismantling my gate stock to paint the interior and add some passenger, the floor I guess will be a nondescript grey colour and the seat ends varnished wood but does anyone know the colour of the seat upholstery?

According to Mike King's book on SR pull-push stock (p.42), in Sep 1960 the interior livery was "pale cream and reddish brown, with reddish brown floral pattern upholstery." He speculates the curtains were "probably similar" but it's clear from photos they were in fact a mid-blue. Adding them does make a difference.
