It's pretty easy to detect the natural leather option. I think it was full leather, so you can use the fingernail test to determine if the backs and sides are leather. Your nail will "dig in" on vinyl, not on leather. On the '02-'05 Aeros at least you can also just feel inside the front and rear seat pockets and note if you have the back-of-hide or cloth vinyl reinforcement backing. A final test is a drop of water. Natural leather will allow it to soak in, while the usual "corrected" leather will cause the water to bead up until it evaporates. The same thing happens with leather treatments like Glyptone.
