Please excuse my ignorance

As a brand new boat owner I have a question. I recently obtained an old SIB and I am hoping to get it in good shape to take the family out whilst away in our Motorhome. The boat is a Beaufort Base 9 from the 1980s. It came without the original seats that hook into canvas straps on the boat. My question is what are these seats called and where can I find replacements generic or originals. I am very handy so could also make them if need be with a little guidance on materials etc.
some pics of my boat and what I’m hoping to find/make for reference.

The fittings are freely available... such as here...

Just make the seats from whatever suitable material you can obtain like plywood.

I think it came from similar to…. I tried to move easily from transom to the bow of my small boat but was thwarted by the seats in the way.
