The models I was around had a yellow handle on the front door post

How could the ejection seat get out past the wing spar carry-though and
overhead plumbing?

I don't know the answers to the exact solutions, but a little googling did
show that the later models did indeed have ejection seats.

Either that, or the pictures were of seats with really, really big, bulky
headrests! g

Those were armoured seats, not ejection seats.
