These seats look like gxl type but the rear look like pre facelift?

Anyone know the score which model they are actually for?

They're all pre facelift, GXL should have the stitching on the inserts going the other way (horizontal), same as the other facelift cars, not sure if all GXL's had cloth inserts, as basket weave vinyl was available.

This is a facelift front seat (needing recovering)...

They're facelift seats, so correct, they came with either cloth, or basket weave inserts (punched vinyl), I think (but don't quote me) that all GXL's had cloth inserts, where as the XL and GT had basket weave,

Yes, they're cloth, tbh the vinyl doesn't look bad on them (although you can't tell from a pic properly), I'd be tempted to see if you could get some material for the centres, and get that stitched in I believe that Aldridge stock the cloth still, but I'm not sure if they sell it by the metre,
