Thanks for that detail, Goran. I think I'd got the backrest frame the wrong way up!
Yes I'm pretty sure the pump is in, or just above, that brown pouch.

Pulling the centre section away from the side bolster I can see the lumbar support bladders and pipes to them, so it may well be fairly accessible after all, depending how much those bolsters block access.
Is the bottom of the centre backrest zipped to the seat base, rather than held with Velcro, or does that zip in the picture do something else?

It's also clear from the tubes to the bladders that both seats are the same, i.e. NOT mirror images (apart presumably from the airbags and controls) so the pump is probably behind your left shoulder in both front seats.

I'll investigate further when the weather is warmer.....
