Leather or not? And does it matter?

I've had a look at a 1970 Jaguar which has spent a fair while in the USA. It's had a retrim at some stage in the past - possibly in the US as there is a big chunk of the paperwork missing.

It looks quite tidy inside, but is there any way of checking that it's leather or not? And does it make any difference?

I've only been able to view it for about half an hour as it's 200 miles away and I was on my way back from a funeral.

The vendor is unsure, he's selling it on behalf of the previous owner who sadly died earlier this year.

Otherwise apart from a little woodwork needing a bit of work and a few minor paint imperfections it seems pretty good all over.

It's a 420G - seems pretty tidy and the vendor comes across as quite knowledgeable but can't be certain on the seats.
