Default factory deuce seat differences

I've been keeping my eyes on ebay for a seat for my deuce, i have the boxy, huge, stock 07 deuce seat. I thought a stock deuce seat was the same through all the years, but as I cruise ebay, I see a lot of deuce seats that are advertised as factory but look nothing like mine! They instead look more curved, skinnier, and lower, like they're a corbin or something, which is what I want. Are these advertised wrong on ebay, or did the deuce change seats at a certain year or what? Are these smaller factory seats any more comfortable than mine, or do they basically just look better?

Default Skinny usually less comfortable

If you make a Deuce low, short and mean I suppose a small seat is the way to go. Keeps it looking all of a piece. But most small seats hurt your a** after a short ride.

Personally I stretched out my Deuce just so it would be OK to run a humungous comfortable ten hour a day saddle, the Harley "Sundowner." Of course it would look strange on a tight sized Deuce but it looks fine on a quasi-"long bike." like we had back in the 60s and 70s...

And if it makes me wax nostalgic for the old days, even better!
