Differences in in 763 F/J seats

I don't recall reading about this, nor could find it in search - but apologies in advance if I missed this info on the forum.

We just did LAX-DFW-RDU..RIC-DFW-LAX. The LAX-DFW-LAX legs were on 763s. I don't usually travel on 763s other than domestically on this route. I have read various posts on how some FTers prefer the 763 J seat to the 777 J seat.

Well I noticed that not all 763 J seats are created equal. One of the 763s we were on had a great seat with great recline and great foot rest - similar and possibly superior to the 777 J seat. The other 763 had a considerably poorer J seat - recline seemed smaller, the foot rest did not come up very far at all. The single difference I can point to is that the inferior seat had a lumber support "switch" while the superior one had a switch for the seat cushion to move out (ir the bit under your knees as you sit). Also the 763 with the inferior seat had a serving "mantelpiece" in front of 2D/F, which the other 763 I don't recall having.

Am I just imagining, or are these different 763 F/J seats?
