Default Any good matches for original seat vinyl?

Hi all,
After removing 2 faux fur covers and a saddle blanket, I discovered my new-to-me 1965 GMC 1000 appears to have the original upper seat vinyl, still in fairly decent shape though faded. However, the bottom bench seat appears to have been reupholstered at some point.

Has anyone ever seen a close match to the factory vinyl for this model year? I assume the pattern is going to be impossible to find so I might go for a solid color pattern. Not trying to win any contests with the truck, just trying to stay true to it's roots.

Here are a few pics of my seat unveiling.




And here is some material I came across that shows and describes the embossed vinyl.
