Default Factory options?

I have a 90 ex coupe, it is fully loaded with every option for 90, Im wondering, was it an option on this car to have leather? It has it now, but im wondering if it was factory, I ask because while cleaning and conditioning the leather i noticed that the leather on the door card (where the upholstery is on the door panel) it looks as if there is some non leather "suede" type material that is typical of all vehicle interiors. Is there a way for the dealer to look up what options this car had via the VIN? Or a place on the card that has a code of the options? I am new-ish to hondas, owned a few, never got in depth tho.
THANK YOU

Edmunds.com lists "Leather seating" as a factory option:

Thank you. Hopefully someone knows of a way to see what this car had from the factory, it also just dawned on me that they might have replaced the door panel with a non leather and added the leather from the other panel? I DK for sure.

If you were to go to Honda's owner's link website, and enter your VIN#, it might have the equipment list for that car.

www dot ahm-ownerlink dot com
With my cars (1998, 2003, 2007), once you enter the VIN it comes back with all the equipment. It even knows what color the car was originally painted.

If it doesn't say leather, it probably didn't come with leather from the factory. No leather on the door panels would be a good clue that someone changed the seats with leather seats, or changed the covers.

" i noticed that the leather on the door card (where the upholstery is on the door panel) it looks as if there is some non leather "suede" type material that is typical of all vehicle interiors."

Then what was this all about? Make up your mind. Is it the same leather that is on the seats, or suede? The material should match.
