Yep, that's for the basic electric seats. I'm guessing the Fairlane drivers seat would be a memory seat so would have the bigger plug. When I put Ghia seats in my old AU, I made an adaptor to connect the 2 pin plug to the big seat plug (I found the right plugs on an old E-series dash loom of all things!). I just worked out which pin on the seat plug provided basic power and the earth and ignored all the memory stuff
