The double seat was an option and it was installed in my coach. Since our kids and grand kids are grown up I installed a seat with armrests in it's place. The double seat is still in my garage since after 5 years she isn't sure she is going to like the single seat.

our 77 Eleganza II came with a buddy seat - not the squared type but the
same shape as the original seats. The mounting plate was wider and
swiveled like the regular seats do. THe Odd thing was the drivers seat was
about 10% wider than the standard drivers seat.
Comfort: the buddy seat was comfortable and great for riding with 2
grandchildren up front or Sharon and a grandchild.
Comfort: the Wider drivers seat was not comfortable since the seat was
convex and sitting in the middle I was off centre with the Steering wheel.
I found it tiring.
Disadvantage: Very little space between the seats for a small cabinet.
I took them out and installed the Honda Seats.

Dwayne,
Do you believe these oversized seats were the originals? If so does your glove box service parts sticker note them as an option and do you have a picture of them (only if originals)?
Thanks.

they had to be originals because the fiberglas backs are larger than the
regular seats - these backs were made to fit the buddy seat.
Will dig into my pics and send you one.

She's probably the most anxious. Her first ride was when we bought it last June, the engine blew on the way home.
