Thanks PT. This does sound like a possible option indeed. But with a few challenges.

1. Separate the bottom from the back for each seat.
2. Remove the "soft" part (cushion, leather and, on the sport seat, the front section that pulls forward) from the base of each seat and install the sport seat soft part onto the manual seat "hard"/metal base section.
3. Reassemble this manual seat bottom with the electric seat back.
4. Figure out how to move the electric controls for the lumbar and side bolsters on the manual seat bottom
5. Realize you do not have the seat base angle adjustment available anymore.

I have not done it yet but, at first glance, it does not seem trivial.
