Pleating and bolsters looks like sundance/duster/shadow/csx type series seats, and, some models were offers as "turbo" to boot.

Look at fabric pleats and proportions.

Then again, I feel like that wreath under the word turbo was a Mopar badge in the late 80s early 90s.... no?

They look similar but I see a lot of differences between the one posted

Agreed, notably headrests among others.

However, year to year changes abound, not to mention amongst car lines - how different are grand national seats from 442 or monte ss, fabrics from year to year, seat backs, etc...

I'd say try pulling it out and look for a tag on the seat cover if not some build papers

The way the upholstery fits loose it almost looks like a seat cover especially on the lower portion were it looks more like nylon where it is worn.
More pictures of different angles etc would help also.

Look like "import" seats to me....especially the escutcheon around the headrest shafts and the integrated seatbelt buckle

That was among my first thoughts, especially the z cars..

Then I remembered the DSM cars and heavy partnerships between mitsubishi and dodge/plymouth/eagle. Couple that with the font being eerily similar to what dodge/Chrysler were using on their car lines for turbo badges...

I think somewhere in that ballpark is a good first target.
