Help to identify non-Oliver tractor seat

Hi Folks,
Was looking for any help I can get in identifying what appears to be NON-Oliver tractor seat on my Oliver 550. Korvis and a used parts seller have both looked at the attached picture and assured me that the seat on my 550 is not an Oliver. I need to know what manuf. seat it is so I can order a new cushioned cover. Can't see it from this pic but this one has had it. Not only that but when it rains the foam in the seat soaks up water, resulting in a wet ride.

any assistance is appreciated.

All you have there is an optional seat suspension that looks like a Knoedler, sp? With a fifteen year old generic cheapo adapted to it. The Oliver sticker will stick to any seat. just pick one up from any outlet. You may need to tap holes.
 
All,
Thanks for all your replies so far!
I have attached 2 more pics--
-one shows a little better the 'Ford Blue' color not painted over on the bottom of the bracket on the back of the seat
-the other a view of the seat cushion/liner
Also, all the suspension mechanisms are not functional since their is NO cushioning in the seat/suspension the way it is now.

If for a minute we assume it is a Ford seat/mechanism, any suggestions on which vendor(s) provide the best value and quality for a replacement padded seat cover or liner?

And are parts readily available to rebuild this seat mechanism so it's not like sitting on concrete? Currently their is absolutely NO give in the seat support mechanism.
Many Thanks!

My uncle had a Ford 2000 that he bought new in the early 70's that had that very seat on it. That seat was so much better than the seat on our MF 135, we bought one from the Ford dealer and installed on the Massey.
