-The exact origin of the seats remains unknown. The upholstery fabric and pattern are consistent with those used in late-1970s Audi models, while the seatbacks resemble those fitted to civilian Iltises, featuring integrated headrests and black plastic rear panels. However, the large side bolsters on the seat cushions differ from both of these designs, making a definitive identification difficult.+The exact origin of the seats remains unknown.

-<del>Converted from 24 volt to 12 volt???</del>+As 1979 Bundeswehr-specification vehicles, the Iltises would originally have been equipped with 24-volt electrical systems. However, some of the additional rally equipment, including radios, auxiliary gauges, and rally lights, may have required 12-volt power. How this difference was accommodated remains uncertain. One possibility is that a voltage converter or separate 12-volt supply circuit was installed to power the additional equipment. Alternatively, the original 24-volt electrical system may have been replaced or extensively adapted to use the 12-volt system found in civilian Iltis models.
