I reckon this is the best option.
I've checked with Triumph Rover Spares here in Adelaide and they believe you need to change the ccf to update the car to electric seats, and then is your nieces nephews cousin (or Bobs your uncle!)
Black seat with armrest - $650.
No, I'm not associated with them, but as they are less than 10km from home, they are part of my Land Rover life!!!!!

I have an HSE D4 and find the same thing. For me they get in the way of the seat belt connection on short trips so I leave them up. Only ever use them on long journeys but still find them too narrow. I saw center console cubby arm rests when I was looking for a replacement arm as mine drops back now into the rear passenger space. Given the outrageous price I've decided to live with it. Replacement was refused under extended warranty as the seats etc are classed as trim and not covered.

If you haven't already done so see if you can find someone with them fitted and try them out first.

I find the HSE captains chairs with arm rests to be one of the best things about either our D3 or D4. Having driven and been passenger in other spec Disco's without arm rests there is no way I would go back to the basic seat model without all the electric adjustments.
We drive long distances on a regular basis and the captains chairs with their arm rests make a huge difference to comfort levels and how fresh you feel at the end of a long day of driving.

Recaro do make seats with air bags available, is there any reason these cannot be fitted to a D4. In the past I had Recaro seats in a previous 4x4 that had side airbags in the seats, the Recaro seats that I already had were fitted and a resistor fitted into the airbag wiring to trick the system. Worked well for me, I refitted the original seats to the car when I sold it. The first person who looked at it bought it, could not believe how good the interior looked.
Anyway I think that it can be done but will most likely cost $$$$$$$$ from previous experience.
Cheers

Well, I reckon they’re ok, but the second row seats are another story - horrible place to be in a D4

I never plan to sit there in my D3

Would you know if these fit a land rover discovery 4?
