Not 100% sure about 78, but 85 should be similar. In 85, the only std leather was the front of the driver and passenger seats. The rest was vinyl. 930s of that era came with full leather std.

No, if a car has the full leather interior, every conceivable part will be covered with leather - door handles, dashboard, etc. Often times the dashboard leather will delaminate and be replaced with a non leather one. When checking for a leather interior, I alway look at the edges of the interior door handles. If there are stiches, then its leather. If not, then its vinyl.
