Replacement toilet seat

Hope you can help me here.
I have tried several places now looking for a replacement toilet seat but none of the fittings match what I am looking for. The current unit has no brand name on it at all to give me a clue.
The hinges are fitted to the upright porcelain rather than the more usual part of the bowl. Any ideas?

Can’t you just buy a Woden seat and fit it with screws through the hinges?0

I think you will be restricted to a wooden seat, and you will have to remove the existing fittings unless you have a toilet seat made to order. You will be able to use the screws you removed to fit the seat, but it will be a miracle any of the holes line up, so it is not going to look perfect if you use a seat that has the original fittings removed.
You could give these people a call to find out if you can afford a custom toilet seat.

just unscrew the fitted fittings (😏) and fill the holes if needed and screw to your fittings (if it’s the right size)0 -
Might be easier to replace the whole toilet ,not that expensive and an easy job for a diy novice0
