Have you looked for museums that keep old trains? Even model railway museums like this way may have detailed models that could be of help.
Not sure if that one has any models, but in our local Trolley Car Museum ( I'm in the US, no Darts here!) they have fully restored cars and you can step inside.
Good Luck!

@toothless I dont know how old this is. Textile cushions seem long ago.
@Klara @toothless alas, not that long ago

Am I losing my marbles or did the 80’s one’s also have flip down seats by the doors??
Yes.

@toothless Unless there are published books on these cars — for which, look — I think this is an archives question, and I would be digging in newspaper photo archives.

@aarbrk not sure they’re quite old enough to be high on a train enthusiast’s radar. But then I didn’t expect a response like this either…!

@toothless no reason to reply to this except that I am a transport nerd. I own a handbag lined in moquette fabric from the UK tube network circa 70s, bought from the London Transport Museum so I wondered if anything similar existed in Dublin. It does: https://www.facebook.com/NCAD.Dublin/posts/-nival_ncad-happy-birthday-dart-irishrail-fans-of-the-iconic-dart-upholstery-can/1011869877606594/ and https://www.shedno2.co.uk/products/dublin-dart-tram-moquette-fabric-sold-by-the-metre Can't help with anything else unfortunately.
