What interior do I have in this 65 Coronet? Can anyone help with the fender tag decode?

I got the 65 out yesterday to get it ready for the season. I've been wondering what the heretige of the interior is. I haven't seen this style rear bench in a Coronet. I'm thinking 66 or 67 Satellite but have seen it in other models also. I put that Coronet fender emblem there to fill the center space and cover some of the holes from the original badge which was missing.

The front driver's side bucket is sitting on a piece of 2x2 on the outside rail and is not adjustable (found a window crank knob under there too). The inside rail is bolted to the floor. It's a little too far back for my stubby legs. The passenger bucket is on both rails and adjusts.

Does anyone have a clue? Am I missing part of the seat rail? I sure appreciate you guys!

The rest of the car:

I think there were 3 trim levels available in the Coronet series: 330, 440, and 500. I would think you have the 500 rear seat cushions.
I can't speak to the seat but, if your interior was swapped into a bench seat interior, it was cobbled to adapt.

Thanks @493 Mike . This is a 440. I was going to post up the fender tag for help decoding but figured most everything out. The car started with cloth and vinyl bench seat. I'm not aware of the variations for the other trim levels. Maybe this is from a 500. The fact that the driver's seat is sitting on a wood block made me think it's from something other than a Coronet, but I'm not a well of knowledge like so many others here.

Here's a reference for the 65 Coronet interior: The 1970 Hamtramck Registry - 1965 Dodge Color & Trim Book - Coronet
 
The seat tracks are 1967 b body only, 66 are adjustable.
Seat backs and rear seat & top panel is 66-67 satellite/ GTX.

The upholstery is custom/aftermarket

That confirms what I thought about the rear seat and upholstery. Just to be clear, the passenger seat does adjust and only the driver's side is on wood.

The 66s were 6 way adjustable up/down etc
 
By adjustable I mean the tracks are two pieces and can be adjusted on the tilt or height with bolts going sideways. You use wrenches for this, not the spring loaded forward and back like most seats have

With this info I'm thinking my fix is to get the proper 65 B-body driver's seat rail and bolt my seat to it. Is there any reason this seat wouldn't bolt to a 65 rail?

62-65 seats are different than 66-67.
What is the end goal
