They are different, but they are interchangeable. You can bolt the Japanese seats into the USDM and UK/EU cars without any problems, and the other way 'round.
As originally designed, the Recaro seat proposed for the DC2 ITR was high-backed and had relatively narrow seats and close bolsters.
The Honda seats designed for the rest of the world have lower backs/squabs to provide for a greater height diversity among UK/EU and USA drivers, and seats that will allow for the slightly greater girth of our drivers. :-)

So true, even the USDM Recaros that came in EVO is made for flat huge asses.
When I go to Japan and sit in my friend's EVO 7 or 9, I could not even fit my wallet in back pockets or thick jacket because is so tight.

Thanks. I thought I'd seen a UK car with our seats, but now that I have looked again I guess maybe these are the high bolsters of the Recaros.

Fat american here 
LOL.
I don't like the JDM recaro's because they make you sit higher than the USDM seats.
But they sure do look nice though.
