IF I remember correctly,  there were only about 3 compaines in the USA 
that made government 'approved' seatbelts, so the car manufacturers and 
the dealers would have gotten them from one of those 3 companies.
Manufacturers would have had them made with the manufacturers branding, 
dealers could have gotten them from a local distributor (not car 
manufacturer branded) OR thru the parts department channels
