1st gen vs 2nd gen seat differences?

Howdy,

Will seat covers from a 2nd gen fit on a 1st gen very nicely?

We have a 2005 MSC convertible and want sheepskin seat covers. I am looking at the "Semi-Custom" fitted covers from these people:
http://www.westcoastsheepskin.com/sh...n-seat-covers/

However, I found a pair of the "Tailor Made" (fully custom fit) covers locally, lightly used, custom fitted for a 2011 MSC with "sport seats". Both seats have side airbags. Would these fit fairly well on my 1st gen, or is it a complete no-go?

Thanks, Jeremy

UPDATE:

We took the 2005 MCS over and trial fitted the 2nd gen covers mentioned above and they fit quite nicely! We got a great deal on lightly used, fully custom fit, all-sheepskin covers, locally, no waiting! They are now installed and looking good.
