Question Real vs. Fake Leather?

Hey folks - I wanted to find out which parts of my interior were "real" leather vs. the fake stuff. Also, how do you tell the difference - it's been so long, I forget!

Any ideas? This is on a 2004 UL.

Thanks!

It appears that all of the seating and head rest areas are leather while the remainder is vinyl or man-made material. I know that real leather will scratch if you drag your fingernail over it and vinyl will not. Hope this helps.
The leather in the interior of my LS is some of the finest leather I've had the pleasure of planting my fat *** on in a car.
