A GPW/tan '03 that I saw had small chunks of leather coming off of the side bolster. When I felt the tan leather it seemed thinner and more fragile than my leather.

Photos would help.
This is what mine is doing. There are wear lines that look like scratches ('cause they are, I guess). I use Lexol and it's getting to be too much. Wrinkles I can tolerate, but these seats won't last another 2 years at the rate they are going.

I had my side bolster wear out completely. I kind of crushed it by putting some of my fat ass on it. There was a big indentation in it where you could just feel the frame bar. Honda fixed it for me but they were going to have the upholstery guy pick it up and drive it to and from his shop. I just took the seat out and dropped at the Honda dealer and picked it up that afternoon. Nice job!
That's precisely what I intend to do. The cushion in my car is crushed down, though the leather seems to be in reasonable shape... I'm intending to just bring the seat to the dealer and ask them to fix it. Hope it works. Warrantee ends in June.

Strange, we have the same year & color with almost the exact same miles (~19,000), but my seats don't really show much wear. The lines in mine are not as visible under normal lighting, the flash makes them look worse than they really are.
