Can I transfer my old Defender seats to a newer model?

I have a 2001 Defender van which has side facing rear seats. I'm considering buying a 2008 Defender van - can I transfer the side facing seats across? Normally they are supplied now with forward facing seats.

Probably not. There are some new rules about this.
