Bench vs Bucket Seat Belts

Is there a difference and if so, what? Converting from bench to bucket in a 1970 Cutlass.

The outer belt and takeup reel appear to be identical. Is the receiver portion different?

Well, for one there is no center belt in bucket seat applications.

I know, Captain Obvious here.

But back to my initial question...what's different? Or, more specifically, what elements do I need to ensure I transfer from the donor car into my project car for the job to be done properly?

I’m still not much help but I am guessing the chassis manual or body manual would show the belts used for each version.

I used the bench belts with buckets, no issues noticed.
