Were ERA Turbo seats unique to them? Don't think I've seen that design before.

Yep, their mounting is unique too as the ERA has a second cross bar.

I read somewhere the Era had modified Metro seats that were made smaller and thinner to fit in a Mini.

That may also be the reason for the second cross bar.
