LNER 1930s 3rd class vestibuled coach seating material enquiry

As I review Michael Harris’s books on LNER coaches I find reference to three types of third-class seating in the inter-war years, as follows:

·        Until 1932 - Fawn rep with brown buttons, brown leathercloth armrests & piping.  Which I take as being as illustrated in the following picture of rep circa 1930.  The second picture from the corridor brake 3rd is much lighter, probably due to the lighting (Sorry, I cannot recall the source of this one).  Which is closest to the actual fabric shade please?

 

The second question relates to the 1930s.  Harris mentions two types used after 1932:

·        (With intermediate armrests) Special brown moquette

·        (Without armrests) Ordinary brown moquette

 

Can anyone enlighten me as to what these two patterns were?  Were they the same material pattern as before in moquette instead of rep or a new pattern?  What did they look like? 

 

Any help would be appreciated here.
